Nope. I did decide to use the US spelling.

Up here (yet south of the UP), we use uuntoward. We have a silent "u" at the beginning! (I could never figure out if it was the first "u" or second "u" that is silent.)

Intentional Foul

When I first started coaching over 25 years ago, when behind late in the game, I would yell out to my players to "Foul" in order to stop the clock. I was told by a veteran official to stop yelling "Foul" under those circumstances because it would put the idea of an intentional foul in the official's head. He suggested a code word. Ours was "Steal the ball", which our players knew meant to foul right now to stop the clock.

BillyMac,

When I use to coach, I sometimes wanted to girls to really really try for a steal. If you were to employ that strategy, would you tell the players to foul?
