Straight-lined

Looking for general input on this matter. The context: GVarsity. I'm trail. Ballhandler and I are on the same line/plane, about 3 feet off the sideline. She passes toward the baseline, straight in line with my line of sight. Really hard for me to see if the player dragged her pivot foot on the pass, which the opposing coach and bench were calling for (they were perpendicular to the play). I just couldn't see her foot well enough to make the call even though I was the nearest calling official and it was in my area. I always work on the assumption, "If I don't see it, I don't call it." A few refs I work with disagree, "...it's obvious something happened, so I call it." I work hard to maintain good angles. However, sometimes the straightline happens. I wont call if I don't see. Sounds basic, but....
