When I officiated, my priority was to maintain control of the contest, and that was succeeded by calling off ball fouls. I feel that a good official will look off ball 65-75% of the time during a two man crew.

If this is true, then there is 40% of the time when neither oficial is working "on ball." Is that really what you mean?
On the teaching, the best thing to do is to walk right behind the trainees as they work a scrimmage. Direct their eyes and ask them questions about the play -- who's in the post? Was that a legal screen by A1? Di B2 push on the rebound? Get them to say, outloud for the scrimmage, the numbers of the players they are watching.

Bob,
I "Shadowed" some young refs a couple weeks ago. T'was fun.
