What you are asking for is the responsibility of a coach, not a referee.

That is not what I saw in MICMP Q164, the match referenced by the OP. In that match, the head referee walked toward the courtyard where defense was being played, making it very clear that the situation was being watched closely by two referees.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
