There is a huge difference between rule myths and the usage of terms like reaching in and over the back, and using ACTUAL basketball terms like jump stop, ball fake, jab step, etc.

If a sentence like, "He never lifted his pivot foot coach, that was all one foot," can be replaced by, "That's a jab step coach." How does that hurt?

The key is to know the rules and be able to best communicate what was or wasn't called and why, in as concise a manner as possible.

Seems there are as many "plumbers" on this forum as I see on the court.

Why make things harder than they need to be?
