Lets see if this ascii drawing comes through...(players just under the FT line)

              T
                                                  L



                             O     X




                                 C

Every official in this arrangement can see through the play.

X & O would be closer on a held ball based on the scale of your diagram and either the T or L would not be to see the ball without some extreme movement by the L or T. I just don't see all 3 officials having an open look.

Sure they could. Not all held balls are in tight....or maybe the ball is not centered. It is not at all difficult for all 3 to be able to see it.

In the play I described, They were opposite of the "C" with their back to the "C" he could not see the ball.
