I never liked the term as it promotes tunnel vision.

As a new official my advice is:

Scan your primary and locate your defenders.

Be aware of where the ball is at.

If it is in your primary find the match up and determine LGP, find the ball's status...is there a dribble, if holding which is the pivot foot.

Position to see through the play and watch if the defender maintains LGP.

And once you have that start looking for other match ups in your primary, through the main match up. Off ball calls when you have the ball is a money call!
