Well stated --
One of the toughest things to get less experienced officials to do, is to relax enough so that they can process the visual info from their peripheral vision. It's similar to getting the Lead to back off the endline enough to get his/her vision to open up, and see the whole play, all of the players' bodies, from the feet up. It's interesting to note how concetrated their vision is, on a primary match-up, and miss something important, right next to or just beyond that match-up.
