The only problem with using comon termonology that is not in the rule book is that it doesn't have the same meaning for everyone. When you tell a coach there was no "over the back" because there was no contact you leave the coach with the impression that there is an over the back call to be made when there is contact. This just make it worse for the
next crew behind you, now the coach expects all contact on rebounds to be over the back. When he is told ther is no over the back by this crew, he now says the offcials have no consistency.
