"See the whole play" works for me as long as someone doesn't take that term the same as a singular play and a patient whistle. It is a better term than telling someone to "ref the D."
I will slightly disagree with one thing: If I'm on-ball, I will be aware of possible players that could set a pick. ************************************************** ************ I was going to say I wouldn't be aware of another matchup but when I thought about it, I will be aware of other matchups in my area.
I would like to point out that JR's argument about the term "ref the matchup" had more to do with re-inventing a term and less to do with a small chip on his shoulder. See the whole play, when used in the proper context, is the most complete term but ref the matchup is still a better term than ref the defense. Others have simply criticized someone (it wasn't me) for a term even though they can't admit that term gives a better description of what they actually do on the court than ref the d. To make a long story short, don't have a closed mind and grow up (not you JR, I can appreciate a good counterpoint with substance).
