I think it is easier to explain this principle to younger officials if you expand on his thought, and explain to them to referee the defense.
While it is good to where the defender is and if he is in position, "edgar" makes it seem like your concentration should be on the dribbler. I think it is the other way around, you need to pay attention to the defender 1st, then the dribbler. You cannot make the wrong call if you do this (OK you can, but that is a different issue).
Maybe that was his point, but that is not what I inferred.
