ATLBrvs326,
Please realize that, as you complete more games, the entire game will slow down for you, that you will not be thinking as much as you will be reflexively reacting to an action that you have seen many times. It will get easier.

1. Player set to shoot -> watch for pivot foot and then watch defender for illegal contact
2. Multiple defenders in the paint -> watch pivot; after shooting motion begins, watch defenders moving toward shooter and note any displacement or contact caused by the defenders. Shooter (moving toward a verticle defender) may initiate contact and the defender should not be penalized. From lead concentrate at your eye level and down. From Tail be watching waist height and up.
3. 2 running players -> get an angle from front or rear to look for space (between the players). When the space disappears, see the displacement or the contact on the ball, wrist or body area.
