Talk to yourself...as you set up in the half-court, tell yourself "Find blue" or whatever color is on defense. Then rotate thru numbers - as the ball swings to one side, find the nearest blue (or whatever color) player and tell yourself his/her number. Example - "as ball swings and blue #25 starts to rush at the ball, say in your head "Watch 25, watch 25...it's all about keeping your concentration level high at all times, and mental reminders will help quite a bit.

The advice is good. However, you will still have the tendency to ball watch. What about off ball coverage?
Watch your primary and all of blue in your primary.

Huh??? Telling myself to watch the defense will cause me to watch the ball??? What are you talking about?

I think he's saying that your advice seems to be saying to watch the defender that's on the ball. But what about defenders away from the ball?
