2 person crew. Lead blows the whistle, indicating a foul on the baseline. A1 and B1 fly out of bounds, official moves to avoid them. It takes a few seconds for one of the players gets up. In the mean time the Trail is coming down to keep order and rotate to the spot. The lead,then goes opposite table, becomes trail and the ball is put in play.
What is missing from this sequence?

I'm not quite sure what your getting at here, did you get a comment from an evaluator about this situation? I think there must be more to this than you are letting on. That being said, here is a guess:
If the trail came down to be in the area of the two players that flew out of bounds at the same time that the lead was still down in that area, who was watching the other eight players on the floor?
In this sitch, the lead should remain there to make sure nothing happens between the two players while the trail freezes and observes the other eight players. Once the situation has calmed, the lead goes to report while the trail is still observing players. Only after the lead is finished reporting and turns his attention back to the court should the old trail rotate to lead. Both officials shold never have their backs to the players at the same time.
