Different answer but maybe helpful. When someone says the words "referee the defense" it means something different to me than what most are saying here.
After all, think about fouls; the vast majority of fouls are called on/against the defense. The defense has done something wrong; tweet.

Right, and a good PC call is defined by where the defense is right before the contact, so watching the defense is the best way to get the B/C call correct.
I agree that watching the matcup is the best way to ref off ball.

I feel like throwing up! When a drive is imminent, yes we must locate the defender to determine a b/c foul. However, why are we still talking about a few situations in a game when we referee the matchup EVERY time someone has the ball and is being guarded. To deny that we really referee the matchup is essentially saying we are going to miss travels, double dribbles and other things. If someone posts saying they do miss those things because they are focused on the defense, I will agree that is refereeing the defense.
