S position in Double Umpire Situation

[TxSkyBolt]

CCA Manual says S to strong side.  If balanced, does he declare strength to the L side as in pass coverage situations?

Second question, what is the reasoning for having the S on the strong side?

Thanks and best regards,

I'm an S.  If balanced, I'm staying on my side of the field.

The reason we go strong side is that it's easier for the U to back straight out from the football -- at least that appears to be the reasoning that makes the most sense.
