You just don't.

You can stand, look puzzled, and wonder to yourself, isn't that five? You can even question him after the game about it. However, you trust your partner to make that call. It's his end line, his call.

It's nearly impossible to get straightlined on a five-second throw-in violation, so you're not helping anyone by looking past the end line.
