I think you're absolutely right about refs calling in anticipation or just by situation. One of the worst calls I ever saw occurred back in the day at Yanatelli. The player involved I remember very clearly was Mark Murphy.

He was fielding a hard pass right in front of us. He must not have known exactly where he was on the floor, because as he went up to control the ball he kind of balanced on foot as if he was close to line and didn't want cross it. He was of course a good foot and half in bounds, but the ref, whose name I've mercifully forgotten, from the other side of the floor, called him out of bounds...all he could possibly have seen was Mark balancing and from that decided that he must have been out...

One of the worst 'anticipation calls'... Seattle, 1989, Men's Championship Game.... Rumeal Robinson was not fouled by Gerald Greene, Mr Clougherty, ... I was there by pure chance. The Hall should have won.... (brother went to SHU & played on freshman team, so I still root for them in all but 1 game a year)
