My point was not that I'm not paying attention to the offensive player - that I'm missing violations by the offensive player, etc.
My point was that "referee the defense" is a method allowing the official to accurately judge whether a foul needs to be called on the defensive player... or whether the offical can 'no-call' the action.
Obviously an official is still responsible for off-ball and the big picture, but this thread started with an official being told he needs to "referee the defense better."
