It is your primary coverage area not your exclusive coverage area.

Bingo. We have Primary Coverage Areas (PCA's) but we should look outside the PCA when we have nothing to officiate there, and provide Secondary coverage. It certainly gives the play a look from a different angle, and often it can be a BETTER angle.

This specifically applies IMO to the "C" postion. Who has a unique angle that the "L" and "T" do not have.

Whether you should extend beyond your primary area depends a lot on your ability as an official. Newer officials should really focus on staying in their primary. As we progress in ability, we develop the ability to determine which calls need to be made and which ones can be passed on. We also develop an understanding of just when our distance judgment might be off.

Why would it be unique to C only. Unless the T and L and standing in the same spot, each will have just as unique of a angle on any given play.
