I have missed many a call because of these crappy short endlines. I have found that officiating from "no man's lands"* is permissible in these situations. Sometimes I have also gone more on-court than I normally would. Go to where you need to see the play. And ask your P to be a strong Trail.
* "no man's land" is not referring to blowing your whistle from an area where no man is. . . oh nevermind
, but rather it is referring to standing in the key area extended beyond the endline.
