On a drive to the rack, I dont know where else the officials are looking. Generally, thats where all the action areas are. IMO, if you dont have the ball & there are no engaged matchups in your primary then you should be officiating where you could get hurt next... on plays to the basket, that would be in the paint where the obvious airball was shot & subsequently recovered by the shooter.
I have worked with "ECA guys" (exclusive coverage area) who work their 3rd whether players are there or not, so I understand how it could be missed. I've also called fouls from the L & partners arent able to help with if the ball went in or not, so I can understand how it could be missed.
I guess thats why we savor those nights where we have a sharp crew of 3 & they all have crew chief tendencies! Those have been my easiest & most enjoyable games to work.
