I was evaluating a Girls JV game last night where one official used the verbage, "Going Down". On one occassion a girl stood in front of the official and just looked at him with a blank stare. She was confused on what the official meant. Communication is the key, Between partners, with the players & coaches and table personnel.

We got it corrected by the second half.
