I would prefer not to call it scoreboard watching but game awareness.
Knowing what is going on the game saves you alot. I have been to camps where the evaluator will ask you at at a time out before you can look at the board, what the team foul situation is, who is in bonus, how many time outs left, time on the clock...
If you do a game with a shot clock its even that much more important.
KNowing what's on the board will save you when people run clocks when they are not supposed to. Or stop them when they are not. This is aprticularlt trye when you get towards the last couple of minutes in each quarter.
IT looks a lot better when the coach is yelling about a clock that you can say that at the FT we had 1:14 on clock, we came down the floor in 6 seconds when I had a foul in back court, clock is et at 1:08, then guessing and making it up!
