I just say, "Foul's on Blue, 42 (give signal), here (the here is with the visual signal)." Then I either point the direction the ball is given two or say two shots or whatever the situation is.

Must be green. Ochre is a vegetable, but it's actually spelled okra. Some people like it. Many people don't.

I used to like okra as a kid. I liked the fried version much more than the boiled version in black eye peas. Now for some reason I cannot stand okra. Now sure why, I just stopped liking it.

So when the University of Connecticut team is on the road, and one of their players fouls, the report to the table wil be "National Flag Blue, 42".

Sigh...ok, here's my chance to help the unenlightened masses.

O-chre: n.
1. Any of several earthy mineral oxides of iron occurring in yellow, brown, or red and used as pigments.
2. A moderate orange yellow, from moderate or deep orange to moderate or strong yellow.

And, fwiw, I'm not gonna start using those particular color names unless I hear them in the school song:

"All hail to the Cream and the Ochre
If my lawnmower doesn't start I'll choke 'er"

Sheesh, I'm going back to my Ivory tower. (That's like a fancy white, for those that aren't sure... )

Oh, that definitely clears it up - Ochre is either yellow, orange, brown, or red. Now I'll know it if I see it! Thanks.
