Didnt mean to imply that, it all depends on who I'm working with & their position on the court.
Does a partners eyes follow the flight of the ball on shot attempts?
Does a partner position adjust on shot attempts?
The answers to those questions tells me how often to sneak a peak or if I even need to referee my 3rd & beyond.
Lets keep it real, all of us arent in this for the same thing & some of us aren't as skilled as others. I'm not letting the team crash & burn when I'm with a check collector or a ball watcher or a guy wearing the uniform who shouldn't be.

It's nights like those where you know you're being less effective cause you have to work your game and a big percentage of someone else's.
I filled in with a guy I never met last year. His eyes never left the ball. I caught this on the first halfcourt set. I found myself working off-ball even when the ball was in my primary. I was very uncomfortable all night.
It's why I'm happy that we have "regular" partners here and I work a large portion of my games with the same 2-3 people.
