There is always a reason to do something that ends up with an official watching the ball. I think it would send a better message to young officials if we try to point out the reasons for not watching the ball.
Again, when you have to ask everyone except the crossing guard if a player got fouled, you probably shouldn't make a call.

I guess I need to spell this out for you.
You are arguing something that was never said, nor even implied.
What you keep missing is perhaps, just perhaps, if Big O had not hung back 70 feet...and once again, when was the last time only 3 players moved to the frontcourt in transition in any of your games...he
WOULD NOT HAVE TO ASK EVERYONE if his partner missed something or if he should go get something.
That is what we have been saying.
NOT if he should be ball watching,
NOT that he should be making an AT&T call, but that he needs to make it to the frontcourt with the players and be in position to help his partner.
This should be no different than a half court play. Trail has secondary areas and needs to be in position to assist the lead.
