We know that already Mark. That's why we wear sneakers and striped shirts instead of cleats and powder blue shirts.

Where I come from referees are generaly bright enough to do 2 simple things at once, like watch for goaltending while looking for rebounding fouls, telling the coach he's wrong while maintaining a 10 second backcourt count, glancing at the shot clock while observing the players after a whistle, and even some complex things at once like giving the tip signal while continuing to referee and even chewing gum while walking.
