Doesn't you not sounding the whistle and calling a foul also let everyone know it was a clean play?

That signal just looks amateurish and looks like the official is trying to justify not making a call which actually, to me, makes the no-call appear even more questionable.

I say baseline during game situations, holdover from my playing days. However, when having rules discussions I say endline.

We should also poll on division line vs. time line

I just completed a "find" for the word baseline in both the NFHS Rulebook, and the Casebook. In both books, there is only one single reference to baseline, in describing a rectangular backboard.

I didn't do a "find" for endline. It would probably take too long.
