There is no set term that fits what an official actually needs to do on the floor. It's more a string of things:

1. Find the defense...this means more than just an individual defender, it's the right defender for the play coming to or already in your primary.

2. Be aware of the ball...this includes the player, player control, and status of pivot foot.

3. See through the play/match up...the open look, no stack, plus...

4. Pick up players off ball through that open look, find the second match up/screening situation.

All that ties into proper positioning, staying open and getting a wide view, and using your peripheral vision.

Boil that down into a simple phrase and win a cookie. [/B][/QUOTE]"See the whole play"

I hope my cookie ain't 40 years old too.
