During landing it is Very important to keep that ball centered. When
the CFI is not yelling at you every time the ball gets too close to
the line does not mean that it is any less important.

1. stalling above the runway is scarey enough without the added
troubes caused by being uncoordinated

2. your wheels hate being side loaded and will one day rebel.

If there's a crosswind, then being uncoordinated is what *prevents* a side
load. Ignore the inclinometer; just use the ailerons to maintain your
position over the centerline, and the rudder to keep the plane pointing
straight down the runway. Without a crosswind, the result will be
coordinated flight; with a crosswind, the result will be properly
uncoordinated flight (a side slip).
