A player is on the floor with the ball, and is about to be surrounded by some defenders? Guess who we're watching? A player is about to be trapped in the corner? Guess who we're watching?

Now, granted, sometimes both officials must be watching the players, but even then, especially the official off the ball, should try to take a peek at the bench during these situations.
