I agree with both Dan and Neveda.
Game awareness is the key. You stated that the defense isn't putting pressure on the ball handler, that allows you to "cheat" off your primary matchup (the ball handler) to look off-ball. That's fine IMO but if you are going to ref off-ball, you still need to be aware of your primary. Another thought is that after a couple of plays, you can easily identify whether you need to look off-ball or not.
I suggest opening up your angle and officiate both match-ups. Find a spot that allows you to officiate your primary and off-ball. If the ball is 5 feet away from the sideline, step on to the court (maybe two-three steps before the lane line extended) and referee the primary from inside out.
Be real careful as if the off-ball defender steps into the passing lane and deflect the pass, the players might run straight into you as you're in the middle of the court.
In two-person game, you can't always referee the entire coverage area. Like Neveda said, you need to make good judgment of which match-up to officiate.
