The rationale used to explain the "one word" philosophy from ASA at the clinics I have attended is to limit confusion and maximize understandability, expecially with players/coaches for whom English is not their native language. I think this stems from the international connection with ASA being the "national governing body." (JMO).
Does NFHS share these concerns (i.e. dealing with a diversity of languages)? If yes, (and I think the answer would be "yes" from a national perspective), then NFHS will get there eventually, I think.
Speaking personally, habits die hard!
