Let's say you are in a big room of students taking a test. If there are 3 people administering this test, it wouldn't make sense for all three to be looking in the same area. If they were, someone else could be cheating.

In a basketball game, officials are people who used to watch basketball games. Watching the ball could cause officials to miss a punch, grab or anything else illegal. Also, all three officials are working to get angles to see plays in their primary. Research has shown accuracy goes down when calls are made out of the primary.

If an official is looking out of their primary, who is watching the players in their primary?
