"Do not follow the flight of the ball. Referee players"
I guess the Trail can do this in the women's game because GT and BI is so rare, but this would never work in a HS boys game or for NCAAM.
Also, I can think of one frequent situation when this instruction becomes very poor--a try near the expiration of the shot clock, necessitates that an outside official observe the flight of the ball to determine whether it struck the ring.
