My point is that some people develop the habit of watching the ball all the time and then when they get on the floor to Ref, they forget to watch their area and instead watch the ball too much.

Scott, I wonder if it would be helpful for the newer refs to work the table like this: The clock person should stop the clock on the whistle, rather than when the ball does this or that. SO they should practice not watching the ball, and concentrate on listening for the whistle. That would then add to their off-ball skills, and reduce the harmful focus on the ball.
