NFHS one word calls

The rationale used to explain the "one word" philosophy from ASA at the clinics I have attended is to limit confusion and maximize understandability, expecially with players/coaches for whom English is not their native language. I think this stems from the international connection with ASA being the "national governing body." (JMO).

Does NFHS share these concerns (i.e. dealing with a diversity of languages)? If yes, (and I think the answer would be "yes" from a national perspective), then NFHS will get there eventually, I think.

Speaking personally, habits die hard!

Dey ain't been lettin' us have no nash'nal FED tournaments like over wit dem ASA folks, so dem mid-westerners ain't had to worry 'bout understandin' us southner's. We all okay to just keep talkin' like we been doing so far. Ain't no need to try and purdie it up any.
