I have always said "backcourt". And while I have an intense dislike for an official referring to a PCF or TCF in NFHS and NCAA Rules as an "offensive" foul, I do not get to hung when an official uses the term "over and back" to describe a "backcourt violation".
That said I encourage officials both young and old (like me) to use correct (rules book terminology) terminology when talking with other officials and especially with players and coaches (and fans and "talking heads") because it is a way of educating them about the rules of the game.
