During a timeout: Coach: "Where is the ball?" Official: "On the endline." Coach: "You mean the baseline?" Official: "Right."

Nevada: I agree. Nothing bugs me more when I see or have a partner use the "foul tip" signal for a blocked. I always make it a point to ask him what sport we are officiating, . MTD, Sr.

I say end-line
and another thing that gets me is when my partner says "no basket the foul is... ON THE FLOOR" [all the while pointing down] i just say to myself (isnt every foul we call "on the floor")

Well, technically, a foul (assuming the foul to be a personal foul) actually has to be on a player. The floor is probably not in the book.

By Rule, it is the "end line", however, to just about everyone else, it is the "baseline." I have yet to hear a coach yell, "don't let him get endline." Therefore, when talking to fellow officials, it is the "end line." When communicating to a coach, I typically speak his language in the case. If he asks if the ball is on the "baseline", I say, "yes." Of course, within a few seconds either one of my partners or I will be at that spot along the "end line" (mostly referees on the forum), or just inside it if the team gets to run the baseline -- I mean end line.

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