Best way to practice watching the defense and off-ball, IMO, is to sit in your favorite chair, turn on ESPN/ESPN Classic and just start watching college basketball games. The camera focusing on the ball can make it somewhat more difficult, but start concentrating on the defensive teams or a single defensive player. Follow him wherever he goes on the court, then pick a different player when the ball is turned over. Soon enough, you should be able to focus on the defense or off ball during your games.
The other thing I do (during games) is to say to myself "blue's on defense . . . blue's on defense" this helps me with directions of OOB calls and with focusing on the blue players.
