The correct way, or what I was told years ago, to rotate is to ref the area perpendicular to the paint as you cross. If something is going on in the paint it will be picked up and then the lead can officiate their new primary. Sounds good, but that isn't what happens; the lead officiates where they are going instead of where they are (as they move across). This is one benefit, IMO, of an accelerated rotation. If the L is going to look where he/she is going they might as well get there quicker so the new C can move to their new primary.

I'm assuming, and I may be wrong, that the discussion about not having two sets of eyes on the ball has to do with a rotation that occurs after the post player has caught the ball. Whatever the case may be, I don't think there is anything wrong with the lead looking at a matchup right in front of them. As the new lead, I will not abandon a matchup but will look away from the lead's primary at the first opportunity.
