Bravo. Common sense, please. The point is COMMUNICATION.

The overall point is that "over the back" is not a foul. You can out jump an opponent from behind and a coach will cry for "over the back." So the use of language is very important, because the term is based on a rulebook myth.

But if you want to be technical, I think you should not use any verbage at the table. You should just signal the infraction and not verbalize it. But that is the way I came up and was taught.

Peace
