Actually, Jeff, I do use the words "over the back" when it's appropriate. Here's an example:

Coach: She's over the back! Look she's clear over the back!

Me: Coach, over the back isn't illegal.

Coach: Yes it is. It's in the rulebook!

Me: Show it to me, and then I'll start calling it.
Why bother going to all that trouble?

When a coach tells me "over the back" I simply tell him there was no contact.

I understand what he wants, he understands why he didn't get it. Might not agree...but that's another thread. Same deal when a coach asks for a moving screen, or a reach. Who cares if it's in the damn book or not? If you don't know what the coach is asking for when he uses these terms then find another way to spend your free time.
