No, they stand with the box parallel to the line.

If you drew a line between their feet, that should be parallel to the sideline. But I usually consider the way their body faces to be the direction they're standing, and shouldn't that be perpendicular to the sideline? And facing into the field, of course.

"Consider" what you like. Everyone else knew what he meant and understands it that way - opposite of what you consider.
