OTOH, it's a little more difficult to see a ball handler travel or palm the ball, etc. Perhaps this is why officials sometimes miss an obvious travel violation, because he's so intent (maybe too much) on watching the defender?
That's the challenge, don't lock onto the defense.

Try always getting an open look and referee through the match-up...doing this gives you a good look at the play, means you can't lock on a single player and will help you nail those money calls (block/charge and illegal screens).
