NV's suggestion is worth considering. The prime directive of officiating is be where you need to be to see the play. Or in this case, to see both plays.
I would go so far as saying that it's a requirement.

Agreed. Forgot about those two guys. If they cause trouble, and you miss an elbow to a ribcage - too bad - it's a limitation of the 2-official system.

If L is already baseline in this transition, s/he might be able to rule on both - but the shooter is, as you say, primary. To be honest, I don't think that the L is already at baseline if T is barely across the DL. It just doesn't happen like that most of the time.
