As umpire, you need to know if a pass crosses the LOS. That is why the mechanic calls for the umpire to step up to the LOS as soon as he reads pass. You shouldn't be watching the passer, but the blockers around the passer. It is the referees's call to rule whether or not the ball is tipped, although if you happen to see it, you can help.
