I hardly every use the actual terms ejected/disqualified when speaking with officials, or even coaches for that matter. In the end, no one but us care. The only difference is where one has to sit for the remainder of the contest.

And I also "WHACK!!" coaches when telling war stories. But when discussing the rules with non-officials, writing game reports, or discussing the finer points of the rules with other officials I do use correct terminology. And so should you.

P.S. When I have someone whacked it is always business and never personal. I also leave the gun and take the cannoli, .
