I officiated Ice Hockey for over 20 years, (not anymore) and it is probably somewhat like basketball, but a lot faster. I have to go with that over baseball though.
Almost all the time in baseball you can anticipate where the play is going to be and get into position to observe it and make the call.
In ice hockey you always work to be in the best position to observe the maximum amount of playing surface and individuals. Many times one official just wasn't enough, thus the 4-man system presently being used became the one to go with. With every stride you have a different angle, which is probably like basketball.
