This issue was addressed Mark Baultz (NFL official) at the Indy clinic this summer. He made a very convincing arguement for crashing the pile and spotting the ball where it ends up. In the past I had been calling the play short if I didn't see it cross the line...but upon relection, I think awarding the ball where you find it (the umpire freeze the pile and help you out with what he sees) is the best way to make the right call the most times.
