ex. You are lead. A1 drives to the basket. You see A2 coming over to set a pick.

Does that make sense??

It makes very good sense. An official who worked in the elite 8 this past season told me the same thing at camp this summer only the example that he used was making a clean block on a shot attempt.
It has to do with your frame of mind when officiating. If you recognize what action is taking place, you can make better decisions. You also won't be apt to penalize something that isn't there.
