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.

You might be right on this play. But, suppose the same setup and someone came running out from the block at the shooter. Now, if the official was inside, he'd be straightlined on that contact and you'd (or some would) be arguing that the official should be wide to see between the players.
