BTW, why do I hear officials say "offense" when they punch a p/c or t/c up North?

*My edit in red makes the statement true & would be easier for newer officials to remember.

I will concede the point that I read athe word "offense" as the word "offensive" but that does not change the fact that there are no such fouls as "offensive fouls" in the NFHS and NCAA Rules.

That said, by definition: A Player Control Foul (PCF) is a Team Control Foul (TCF) and TCF is a Common Foul (CF) committed by a team when it has Team Control (and there is Team Control when there is Player Control of the ball, but there does not have to be Player Control when there is Team Control) of the ball. And "newer" officials NEED to learn the definitions.

Why do some officials say "offense" when they have a PCF or TCF? I don't know but I would love to slap then up side the head with a wet noodle when they do.
