I don't understand the problem with the new L making this call. Aren't we supposed to transition with our heads turned toward and no further ahead of the play than necessary?
The new T was still on the baseline when the contact occurred. The new L was not even in the picture, so he could very well have had been in a good position to make the call.
However, based on the lack of an immediate signal, the uncertain stroll to the table (and the fact that he made the wrong call), it would have been easier to just use the quarter.
Great justification for a 3rd person.
