What nobody knows is where the umpire was at the time of the tag. That is the critical time (and spacing) - not at the end of the play! Depending on the number of steps, could very easily been 7' - 10' away.

If it is a tag play, then the critical view of the play is very small - 12" - 20" high. Don't need to be very far back to have the entire view without moving the head.
