Hopefully it will be another forty-four years until the next time that I see it.

That's why they had to change the rule.

it might be 44 years before you see it, but it won't even be 44 games before it happens.

And, it's just not that hard to see and call in practice, if you pay attention to the players in your primary. You should have peripheral awareness of all of them and the ball anyway.
