No, she is okay for making the call assuming she was at least 6' away when seeing the play. However, I prefer to be 8-10 feet away from a play when a play develops. Maybe a little closer once I can determine where the ball will be.

I know, that sounds strange, but what I want to avoid is getting so close that if the throw is off, I don't want to have to move my head/eyes to the point I lose part of the frame especially if it is a force play.
