To get a better look at the play, does the trail come all the way over to that side to get a better look, and/or does lead come up and out wider to get a better look? Or, something different?
I had this exact situation once in a sity final. IMO, my P bailed too early and I had to use my best guess as to who gets the throw-in. After the game I was told I guessed wrong.

Nowadays, if this happens and I'm the L, I stay and help out when I can. If I'm the T, then I *really* work the arc. I move right over, although deeper than usual. I'd rather get the call correct than worry that I forced a rotation as T.
