Also, I really wasn't ball watching, but I was cognizant of where the ball was. And the shooter just happened to be inside my field of vision when the shot went up.

I realize it didn't come across the way I intended it. I didn't mean to imply you were ball watching; I was talking about my personal progress as an official and how I've trained (and am still training) myself to quit ball watching. To me, it started with not calling the travels and double dribbles that I clearly should not have been seeing.

I know sometimes we catch that foot on the line; it only takes a brief glance.

I realize this is different than the travels, double dribbles, carries, and maybe fouls that I would dial long distance for in my early days. I'm willing to admit I was wrong on this one.
