What? You seriously mean that you don't take this opportunity to enlighten the coach in regard to what the correct terminology is? It just takes a few minutes to show him that the word baseline never appears in the rulebook and if you have time, the casebook, whereas the word endline appears in multiple rulebook and casebook situations. Plus, you let an opportunity slip through your fingers to point out to the coach, in a very sarcastic manner, "Coach. Baselines are in baseball. This is a basketball game". If we don't take care of business coaches all over the world will never know the difference between a baseline and an endline. And what a sad state of basketball affairs that would truly be.
