Thanx

In addition to the other answers (which I agree with), I'll point out that the official has more important things to look for, and that the responsibility is split.

For example, two-official game. Ball is in T's area, so L looks at the paint. L sees A1 in the paint --- 1...2... Now the ball gets passed to L's area, so L stops looking at A1 and looks at the area around the ball. T looks in the apint and sees A1 -- 1...2... Now, the ball is passed back to T's area....
