We have state final officials in a state that borders yours, that I've heard use those terms when reporting fouls to the table. Does that mean they don't know the rules either?

If you are using the term "over the back" in my opinion you do not know that particular rule very well.
Just because someone works the State Finals does not make them a quality official. I know a few D1 officials that have never worked a HS varsity game. Are they any less of an official because of their lack of HS experience?

Or, you might know the rule very well, and while giving the push signal at the table, say, over the back, instead of push, or push in the back.

Why would any official say "over the back" when giving a push signal? Why would an official want to use "fan speak?" Dumb.
