For one, yes, it does slow down with experience. I've heard pro NFL players talk about getting used to the speed of the game, and say how it has 'slowed down' for them in time.

I'd suggest always knowing what your primary responsibility is, and trusting your partner to watch what he should be watching. I can't believe how many experienced officials I see make calls out of their area. When a ref is baseline, and he calls a travel by the point guard at the top of the key, I wonder whose eyes are on the 8 guys banging in the lane?
