The reason it is important..

I do feel the right terminolgy is important and here is why.

First "over the back", commonly misunderstood. Easy to explain, "Coach it is not over the back it is on the back", can't penalize for being taller or jumping higher. It is the contact of being on the back that is a foul.

Second, moving screen, better explained as an illegal screen. It is illegal if contact is present while moving. The fact of moving does not make it illegal, there must be contact. And all contact is not illegal.....

These type of terms I feel are important and with the right attitude and communication skills can be explained and understood by coaches. If you do it right, it is in no way compative, and more than often appreciated.

It all comes down to your communication skills. That is why I reccomend everyone should work hard to improve them.
