if he wanted to be in a better spot and available to help, how about he take his pad out and move into foul area near the running lane and wait while pretending to be jotting instead of starring down that image of a play long finished, or at least sweep the plate as he normally would have done.

Why should he "pretend" anything? And why would he respond to anything anyone has to say about a call that he didn't make?
You've some imagination, but you might want to leave that in your equipment bag.
