Love the term - it reminds me of when my aunt coined the term "magnet ball" to refer to youth (and even some HS) soccer.

As to covering it - you're definately going to miss stuff, so call what you can/do see and don't worry about the rest. I definately agree that you should stay put - if you're moving, everything will just blur together (or maybe that's just my poor eyesight ) and it will be harder to tell who hit whom. Also, this can be a situation where having another official watching the rebounding (especially weak side and players blocked from your view) can help - even if in a 2 man crew.
