Amen!

And the simpler explanations are also the best imo. All you're gonna get from newer officials is glazed eyes when you get into some of the terminology now being used at some camps. Each level of play has different levels of expectation also when it comes to the amount of physical contact that comprises a foul. At higher levels, you're usually expected to play through a heckuva lot more contact that might get called a foul(and rightly so) at, say, the JV level.
