This will probably not be a popular post with the masses.
I get almost as tired of officials criticizing the phrase
"over the back" as I do coaches using it. Don't we all know what it is the coach is yelling for when he yells
"over the back" or "reaching in" or whatever? Would it be any more tolerable if tomorrow they all changed to:
"Hey, Mr. Ref, 22 pushed my player who had established good inside position." "C'mon, Ref, he hacked my player in the act of shooting." "Oh, dear God, Ref! I know you saw A1
when he illegally extended his arm. Surely if there is any justice in this world, that should be a player control foul."
Kinda makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck just thinking about it.
