It's a good saying to teach about how it should be called, and some college officials can get away with saying stuff to coaches that might cause problems for others. I would be very unlikely to say that to a coach during a game.

Totally off the subject, but someone once told me this and I agree: an official is whatever he/she does the most of. If the official you are referring to does mostly high school basketball...he is a high school ref.
This may be just the officials I have dealt with, but it cracks me up when someone has 5 college games and says something like, "You may have to help me with an interpretation if I try to use a college rule". Really?

Yes, as an official you are responsible for knowing the gym (and rules) you are in that night. I never bring up my schedule because nothing good can come of it. When you work a HS game, you are a HS ref. When you work a NCAA game, you are an NCAA ref.

Please Don't Say It ...
... and when I work a Catholic middle school game, I'm a ... Heh? Wait a minute?

And honestly I call the game the same at least when it comes to judgments. The rules are very easy to know IMO too at the college level. Peace

I think that part of the reasoning behind being a little nit-picky on the terminology is that "over and back" is not necessarily a backcourt violation. In bringing the ball to the frontcourt, you can be part of the way across (over) and then return to the backcourt (and back) —*and it is not a violation.

I always have ... one syllable ... a lot easier than saying "travelling".
I don't know if I remember many people using "travelling" ... of course, we do things different down in Texas ... on technical fouls sometimes we add, "YeeHaw!!!" |

Completely disagree. The worst possible thing an official could say is, "Yeah, well I saw your wife last night ... she was ON her back!! BOOM!!!!"

Pejorative means a negative connotation or usage. Officials obviously think certain words are negative in nature as it relates to officiating language and why we often argue on this site over things like these terms.
Peace
