Why? He wants us to be "professional", and "consistent".
He's been on this for several years, well before the 2018-19 Officiating Professionalism And Use Of Proper Terminology NFHS Point of Emphasis.
I think that he got a message from the International IAABO Grand Poobah after our guys were observed in state tournament games.
It's a small thing to ask, so I'm trying, with a lot of success.
He also wants our guys to stop signaling the sixty as a double foul, with fists rather than open hands. No problem for me, I've always done it the correct way.

I'm in no position of authority, but that is one of my biggest pet peeves.
"Sixty" versus "Full" is splitting hairs IMO.
