A good example is a defender "obtains" a LGP in NCAA and FIBA Rules, while in NFHS the defender "establishes" a LGP (even though it was "obtain" in NFHS until about 20 years ago and it was a personal friend and a NFHS Committee Member who pushed for the word be changed from "establish" to "obtain" in both the NCAA and NFHS Rules, but that is another story).
Use correct terminalogy and you significantly reduce the chance of your words coming back to haunt you.

To me, the difference between "obtain" and "establish" is the same difference between endline vs. baseline.
