Use of "Concise Verbage"

When you'all observe the following violations by A1 (ball handler), which I will use the vernacular terminology for: "carrying", "double dribbled".

When you announce after popping your whistle and holding/extending up your open hand--do you'all announce it as "carrying" or "double dribble" whichever the case may be--or do you announce it simply as "illegal dribble" ? And then move on without explaining to an inquiring coach or player the precise violation?

For myself, I have this season been making a point to announce "illegal dribble", then move on--coaches and players tend to discern what the exact violation was [and dare I say fans are clueless] . I have come to believe that announcing such violations simply as "illegal dribble" is the most concise verbage despite it being non-vernacular.

Just curious here what other colleagues are doing/saying?
