His choices: Say no (a viable choice); umpire from behind the catcher without a mask (not me, no way); umpire from behind the pitcher.
I have zero insight into how to best call the game from behind the pitcher, but I can see how the situation might arise...

I'd call the game from behind the backstop, in a lawn chair.
As we all know, it is a much better view than what we have in the slot.
