Officiate first and worry about the three-person stuff second. Your partners will adjust to any rotation-type errors.

Think "over rotate" instead of "under rotate".

Get the off-ball stuff. Expand your area to help with ball screens. Look through the players to help with low-post stuff on the far side where L an T can get straightlined.
