One thing that I've learned about basketball officiating from this Forum is the importance of the phrase "When in Rome". Things are done in different ways in different geographic areas.
For example, we've been taught to never say "On the floor", if we do it will show up in our ratings, but if an official from another geographic area tells me that it's acceptable for him to say "On the floor", then so be it.
If I were to sound my whistle before entering the court to let players know to stop dunking, my Connecticut colleagues would look me as if I were from Mars, but this is 100% correct in Texas.
Officials in Massachusetts stick around to observe the post-game handshake line. Here in my little corner of Connecticut, by that time we've already got the shower going to heat up the water.
