Curious, does anyone know where these spots are? My understanding is that the referees basically move in a fluid triangle [1]. But I also don't know of a public NBA referee's handbook.

If the ball is at the top of the key, it can sometimes be easy to get away with something in the corner on the weak side. The Trail/Center might both be paying attention to the ball.

Most of the blind spots occur when the ball is transitioning coverage areas or when the Lead (baseline ref) initiates a rotation.
