Angles. We need to see between the offensive and defensive players, and many times, you just can't do that if you're planted on the sideline. You see the Trail official out on the floor much more often than the Center official; but even the C can step onto the court for a good look occasionally.

2. Player A1 just passed the ball to A2 near the top of the key, and A1 proceeded to move toward his position in the low post. Player A3 was moving along the baseline with defender B1 moving with him. Players A1 and B1 collide. It appears to be completely incidental/accidental, but A1 was called for an illegal screen foul. A2 had passed the ball to A4 on the opposite side of the floor drom where the contact occured. Is this the right call?

Absolutely no way of knowing without seeing it.
