Just like anything in officiating you have to watch a couple of things at the same time. Now watching the shot go in does not mean you are so focused on the shot you forget other things. Also that does not mean you call a GT/BI call. But even as a Trail official, I might not watch the shot in a Two Person game. Once again, this is why there is a 3 Person system so official can focus on less things than in a 2 Person game where you have to try to watch many things and get all those plays right.
