Yup, you're right. I'll start using it, along with "over the back" on rebounding fouls. After all, "over the back" communicates exactly the message I intend to those not as familiar with the rules as I am. Good tip, thanks.

btw...are you opposed to saying you googled something when you really should say you performed a web search?

I'm not. But I've heard that within the Google company, employees are forbidden from using the company name in that manner. The owners are afraid that using "google" as a verb will essentially cause it to lose its unique meaning as the "Google company". This is what happened with "aspirin", which used to be a unique brand name.
I didn't really mean to get drawn into this conversation. I just stopped by to say Merry Christmas to everybody. I'll go back under my bridge now.
