From how I read the description, this would be well within the C's field of vision, but beyond where he should be looking. So it shouldn't be much of a stretch for him to get this if he doesn't have something interesting happening at that moment. Also, as the off-side, outside official, doesn't he have the flight of the ball so the on-side official can watch the shooter back down to the ground? Which means he has to be aware when a shot is going up from the T's area. So if he's aware the shot is going up, and it's within his field of vision, I don't see why it would be unusual for him to have this. Oh, and according to Art McDonald (don't you love talk tapes from D-1 guys) we should be helping our partners with this call when their straightlined. :ramble off:
