That's true, Frank. But BRG's problem is that he's having trouble seeing the shooter all the way to the floor b/c he's too close to the shooter and defender. When you get close to the bodies, you can only see the upper half of them. So the question is: should he take a step or two back, away from the endline; or should he officiate the contact up high and have the Trail officiate any lower body contact?
I vote for the former. Take a step or two back if you can. If you can't, then try to work a little wider, although this may put you at a bad angle to see through the play. So you wouldn't do it in that case.
I think it's better to be a little bit off the end line. I know at a couple I've been to, they expect to be right on the end line. But you know how they say to take what works and throw the rest away. . .?
