The rules are a puzzle. Their connected and intertwined etc. Personally, I think using other terms has potential to lead to confusion.

I always tell new officials (and vets also) to use rule book terminology when discussing officiating amongst ourselves or when talking to coaches.

Yes. I wish I could say it better but what we learn in one rule can apply to many other situations. A change in terms might help you understand one situation better but cause a screwup in another....

While the correct terminology may not seem important now, not using the correct terminology now could lead to issues down the road in your career. So you might as well learn it right the first time.

The reason this matters is that POI is often times not the spot nearest where the foul occurred. If it's an off-ball foul, for example, or a foul in the midst of a successful shot attempt. POI can be quite different than the spot nearest where the foul occurred.

Yes, i agree and would say most of the time it is different.
