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, .

True story. I was once told not to use the words hit and whack because they might be interpreted in a certain cultural way.

In the early 2000s the State of Ohio was using money that it had received in a lawsuit to provide matching funds to build new schools. The Toledo Public School District's commitment was 30% of the cost of the buildings with the State putting up the other 70% which is a very good deal. TPS put a bond issue on the ballot to raise its share of the monies to replace all 69 schools in the district. I was on the committee that promoted the passage of the bond issue.

Every Friday morning the committee would meet and the district's superintendent would start the meeting with a recap of fund raising listing the different organizations that had donated money and how much they had donated. I would always conclude is report with the reminder that I had to take 15% back to the Mafia in Youngstown, to which everyone would laugh. After one meeting a woman who had never been to a meeting before admonished me for using the word Mafia because everyone knows that is no such thing, . I calmly reminded the woman of my last name, that I was a native of Youngstown, and that the Mafia did indeed exist, .

So, tell us about them Buckeyes again? At least Michigan made a game of their contest on Friday night. DOn't know that we can say as much for the Suckeyes semifinal game.

Isn't Youngstown where that guy Jim Traficant was from?

We're the officials on the game college officials?
NCAA rules if players come off the bench when a fight may brake out but do not participate they are by rule ejected with no technical being called.
