"Widely Accepted" parameters sounds an awful like concensus to me. Concensus has no place in officiating a basketball game.

Just my humble opinion.

Ok, then best of luck doing it your way. I sincerely hope that it brings you success. I only offered my advice. You certainly don't have to take it.

There definitely are things that I do which are counter to the widespread practice of others.

Inappropriate language is a difficult concept to officiate. I happen to like the advice presented by the US Soccer Federation.

It has the benefit of not requiring me to make decisions about individual words or phrases. For people like yourself who seem to take a different approach, I always wonder what makes the list and what doesn't?
