Camera follow ball along cylinder

In my game I have a ball that rolls along a cylinder and can also rotate around it. alt text

The camera script I currently have looks like this:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private GameObject player;
     private Vector3 offsetPosition;
 
     void Start()
     {
         player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
         offsetPosition = transform.position - player.transform.position;
     }
 
     void LateUpdate()
     {
         transform.position = player.transform.position + offsetPosition;
     }
 }

So it simply follows the ball. When I rotate the ball around the cylinder it looks like this alt text

How can I modify the camera script so the camera view stays the same and rotates with the ball around the cylinder?

Picture might help, also you don't usually make your camera(s) as children of the thing they're following. UA's pretty good for short, direct questions, so you might want to help the readers by being explicit about the behavior you're trying to achieve.
