I'm with Tony. Have they stopped teaching this concept?

I have worked with newer officials who while working the bases watch a runner's exclusively. If you glance at the runners while keeping track of where the ball is, you won't miss obstruction or interference.

Both extremes are wrong, ignoring the ball or the runner is bad mechanics. Yes, things do happen away from the ball. You miss those plays working solo, which is an advantage of 2 man.
