End of game management

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all cringe and grind our teeth every time anybody uses terms like "reaching in" and "over the back." And yes, using the term "moving pick" is still a hanging offense in some states.

It seems to me that the officials in question weren't posting to the board, or trying to impress other officials. They were talking to players. They chose to speak the players' language. Game/player/coach management is mostly about effective communication. Being bi-lingual can help.

Ray, I agree, but guardedly. If we keep using inexact terms to people who don't know any better, we keep suffering under the misunderstandings that make our lives more difficult. I think that's really a liability.
