Because if he looking at the ball, that means there are no eyes off ball. So just work fast and get the game over with instead of trying to force the issue. It will drive you crazy
I wouldn't recommend it in the regular season, but in summer ball, this can be an interesting way to train yourself to really force yourself to look off-ball.
This whole situation would not happen in a regular season game!
Maybe not at the level you work, but it sure does at JV and under. The best thing is to just work with the person the best you can, be pleasant and cheerful but also firm and unyielding on the rules, and practice watching off-ball. Or as mick likes to say,

"Get in,
Get done,
Get out."
