This is so true and it's definitely something I want to get better at. There are so many things happening at the same time on every single possession on both offense and defense, it's almost impossible to see it all while watching it live. What helped to improve my eye for "the little things" is closely re-watching a game, or parts of it, and focus on one aspect of the game (PnR defense, for example). It's really impressive how much you can get out of it, especially when you watch what good teams do, how they respond to specific situations, to superstar players etc. This is a lot of fun to me, but man, it's really hard and time-consuming.

Obviously, these questions were put in to be not entirely clear, and there are very clear blown assignments defensively, but often it isn't easy to tell what happens on defense without reviewing game film later.
