Sounds good, but not particularly helpful without some explanation.
Can I get some explanation of this suggestion.
And maybe a situation where this best applies (e.g., block/charge).
(BTW, this forum is awesome.)

Who commits the majority of fouls in a game? The defender.
How does an offensive player usually commit a foul? Because the defender has position.
If you focus your attention on the defender, then you'll know when he does something illegal. You'll also know if he has legal position when the offensive player makes contact. And finally, you won't follow the ball around the floor.
