When I first started, I would come down the court and look at the floor--locating my invisible PCA lines with my eyes. Not great and wouldn't recommend it.
15 years later I know that the imaginary lines aren't that important, rather it is the location of your nearest competitive match-ups (generally defined as two opposing players within about three feet of each other).
Therefore, you should come down the court and strive to identify the two nearest competitive match-ups and focus on those four players. Unless one of those match-ups involves a player with the ball, FORGET about the darn ball!!!
The ball isn't going to foul anyone. Teach yourself to look at the players first and secondly be aware of where the ball is. Look(at players), look (at players), glance(at the ball)--is a good technique.
You will get the hang of it with time, but it is certainly different from being a coach or fan and mostly just watching where the ball is!
