What I meant by the "lucky" is that he got the call correct even though he wasn't looking thru the players (which would have been the best angle, which is the angle we get from the video)...but instead was looking at the back of the defensive player...I agree that he could still see whether or not the defensive player had established LGP.
I disagree. I think from his angle, he could see more clearly whether defender had stopped his motion toward the endline, or whether he was still sliding in. From the camera angle that motion is almost impossible to judge, and is really more the point on a bang-bang block/charge.

I'm willing to give you the "luck" on getting that good angle, though. It's hard to tell whetehr he chose it or just had an angle-angel smiling on him.
