Too many things on this forum degrade into "if you're watching something else you can't be watching what you're supposed to be watching." And my response is that my field of vision is pretty wide and I can take quick glances when they need to be taken. YMMV. Shrug.

What's does this have to do with what I was responding to originally. This is what I responded to:

Coach asked for a timeout when the ball made it passed the division line. The request was made while the ball was still in the back court. It was a little awkward since I had to watch the ball coming up the court instead of watching the players in my primary.

What situational awareness? No press, no 8-point run. Just a coach asking for a delayed time-out during live ball action. Apples and oranges.
There is more than one official on the court. And I have had a supervisor who doesn't like for every official on the court looking for time-out requests.
