I was given some advice regarding something similar to this. My situation was watching a matchup in the paint, I was starting to focus only on the posts when they were my responsibility. Another official told me that when I found myself in this postion (narrow focus) I could take a couple of steps backward, either away from the baseline if room, or out toward the 3 point line. Thus it broadens your field of view. I know it may sound wrong to actually move away from the play but it works. Then when you have something close down on the call.
