Am I missing something?

Yes, you are missing a lot of somethings.

Disagree, and even if it were it pays (imo) to use the correct terms amongst officials and with others -- it will help your understanding of the rules and the nuances involved.

(I am not saying to "correct" a coach if s/he uses the wrong term and we know what s/he meant).

Just a thought… How about a delay warning to avoid a Technical?
