Catch/No Catch

Just worked with a great umpire who just got out of Harry's school. I had a ton of fun as it was extremely nice to work with someone on the same page.

Anyways, I noticed that when a ball dropped he would say "no catch" and signal.

I've always been taught not to use that since it's so close to "catch." I was taught to use "ball down" and signal.

Anyways, I was just wondering what is the rationale at the higher level for using "no catch?"

Thanks for your input.
