I think any closer to the play than the baseline and the official's too close. JMO.

I understand what you are saying. In this case, I believe the L was officiating wide on the baseline and got caught not seeing the arm contact on the opposite side of the shooter's body. By being on the baseline, he had a bad angle at the play because he was straight-lined. Positioning himself before the play started is key in this situation.
Being closer (say between the FT line and the baseline) along the key and the L would have had a great angle at the play.
