I guess in Nevada the players always arrange themselves so the officials always have perfect sight lines. I need to move there.

No, Frank, in Nevada the Lead blows his whistle and asks his partner for help instead of signalling a direction for the OOB when looking at a player's backside and is unable to see the ball the entire way.
