So I have to ask, if not the off-ball players, what precisely should I be officiating when the ball isn't in my PCA?
You have a partner - he is covering some of the players you are not. You can't possibly see all of the players no matter where you are looking. You have your primary and focus on the key matchups and catch what you can out of your peripheral. But you have to trust that your partner is also covering their primary.
