Ideally, you get set, watch the play, and close to the base as you make the call. If you hustle, you can get a decent look at the play.

I agree, you have to stay and watch the foot. That is why it is hard to get that swipe tag at 3rd. You have fielder, ball & glove and then runner in a strait line right in front of you, I hate it when that happens. The worst is when you are alone and you have no part for help.
