Several things. Talking about down and distance. Observing huddles or conferences. Talking to each other about a player or coach question. There are so many things officials can be doing and are doing during any timeout situation. Even at the State Finals they might be talking to someone about if they are going to commercial and when they come back if the games are on TV. There are a lot of things going on because everyone is not always focused on the injury when medical personnel are taking care of the situation. But if you officiated you might know that already and stop acting like you are shocked that the "Referee" who was the original person you thought should have seen this. And the Referee in many cases is not watching the ball or every block. They are focused on their area of responsibility and would have no idea what is going on at other parts of the field.
