"Over the back and Reaching in"

Had our Association's banquet last night, CBS college basketball analyst Clark Kellogg was the guest speaker. (Former Buckeye still living here in Columbus OH). After a very nice talk he opened the floor up for questions. Final question of the night was would he talk to his co-workers about using the terms "Over the Back" and "Reaching In". Clark said he was often penalized unfairly because he was able to reach over his opponent and tip a rebound back to himself. He said he would use the term "On the back" in his next broadcast. He's doing a ND/Pitt game with Dick Enberg. I can't wait to see if he really says this.

'over the back' and 'from behind'. You do the math . . .

Those guys make a lot more money a game using terms like "over the back" and "reaching in" than we do calling the vioaltions and reporting them the right way. I'll bet they don't change any time soon -- and I'll bet they don't drop "offensive foul" for a PC either.
