Question on Phenolphthalein Indicator

My question:
The boss of your lab demands that a phenolphthalein indicatore be used for the titration of HCL with a standard NaOH solution because "that's what it says in the notes" left by the last technician. In a paragraph, no more than 4 sentences, write a memo to the boss explaining why the notes were wrong in this instance.

My answer:
Transition range of phenolphthalein indicator is pH8.3-10.0. The colour change is from colourless to red. If it's titrated, we will not be able to see the equvilance point (ph 7) easily, as colour change is only occurs at a higher pH.

Am I right to put it this way?
Lots of opinions will definately be appreciated!
Thanks alot in advance!
