Why do you suppose these people advance when they clearly get the mechanics wrong, and perpetuate myths with their choice of words?

I had a player fumble a ball he was receiving while taking a couple of steps in transition last night. When the coach said something about a travel, I gave a fumble signal and the complaining stopped. Bad Rich. Bad, bad Rich. |

From the Mythbusters file: Over the back is not a foul. There must be illegal contact to have a foul. A taller player may often be able to get a rebound over a shorter player, even if the shorter player has good rebounding position. If the shorter player is displaced, then a pushing foul must be called. A rebounding player, with an inside position, while boxing out, is not allowed to push back or displace an opponent, which is a pushing foul. With rare exceptions, stick to the book. Call it a push. Don't call it, or signal it, "Over the back". |

It's easy as hell to tweak your officials' mechanics if you think they might be causing a problem. If the mechanics aren't causing a problem, ..... It's a helluva lot harder to tweak their play calling, judgment, etc. The most important mechanic by far is proper positioning imo. Signals are meant to convey information. If they do that, fine with me. |

It's like calling out of your area? Are there times when it's appropriate and helpful? Sure, but the newer officials aren't as likely to understand the difference, and are more likely to see it as a license to ball watch. |
