What I would add to this and why I feel it is important is what they believe matters a great deal. Our credability is at stake in explaining the rules & terms properly, if coaches believe moving screeens are illegal and we use the terminology we are contributing to the problem. If we say "over the back" is a foul we are not only contributing to the problem, we are wrong. Part of what we do is educating, would you have wanted one of your teachers to have taught you incorrectly?........
As I run across coaches over and over again. I communicate to them correctly and explain the importance. If we all did this wouldn't that make life easier? Take the time to educate.
