As stated in an earlier post, the L didn't make the call, the C did, you can see by the players' reactions...which is exactly how it should have been done considering court coverage...I think he probably had a good angle to see the play......

I will agree that the L would have had a hard time seeing through the defense and if he would have been forced to make the call (no whistle from center) then it would have been a little bit of a guess since he couldn't see between the players.
