REPLY: I didn't read the original post as saying that the alleged foul took place 60 yards from the play, but rather that the official calling it was approx. 60 yards away from the foul. No question that if the foul occurred that far behind the play, a flag would be warranted. My answer above was to address why an official might need to make a "long-distance" call.
