We also don't want all three officials watching the action where the ball is. Who would be observing the off-ball battles for potential rebounding position or any screening action?
The Slot shouldn't be looking to help with a travel under the basket. He need to focus his attention off-ball. The Trail would be the Lead's only source of help in such a situation and he could easily get blocked out.
