This is something that you should pregame and decide how you will handle it as a crew. I will say that I once watched a WNBA game in which one of the officials was a former poster to this forum. Ball went out on the endline, opposite the Lead. Lead looked to Slot, Slot looked to Trail. No one knew and no one guessed. They jumped it up.
It does happen; and different folks handle it different ways. I don't like admitting that I didn't see it, but hey, I didn't see it.
And BTW, no, I don't know what you mean by "the obstructed eye sign".

OK, OK the sun was really bright in the gym and I covered my eyes to shield the sun and I missed the ball going OOB. Is that better?
