I've never heard them yell that, so I can't say I disagree with you. Usually I hear them yell "shot."

I agree that it is unsporting, but I've been quite clearly told by higher ups to let it go.

If you feel that it is unsporting, then you have rulebook backing to call a technical foul. Feel free to do so.

Have the courage of your convictions.

Gratuitous and mandatory Chuck Elias reference aside, what "higher-ups"? Association, state, IABBO?

Which is it? Gratuitous or mandatory? Kinda like "intentional flagrant." It can't be both.

Shut up.

...or...

Thank you.

HS and NCAA interpreters.

So...what if you were to become the HS interpreter. Then what? :D

I guess that since there is a rule about it, that chatter doesn't happen only in girls' Fed. :)

Scrappy is an high school interpreter, I believe.

The issue, I guess, is whether it is wise to let a personal philosophy over-ride what is commonly called the "expected" call.

This is exactly correct. I personally feel that the yelling thing should be a T. Seems clearly unsporting to me. But the people that I work for and who teach me say that it is accepted -- along the lines of the people here who say "it's not golf" -- and not to make myself the focal point by calling something that nobody else does.

So kinda like stare decisis? :D

I know Scrapper's an interpreter; I'm just yankin' his chain a bit. ;)
