I'd probably have ignored it but ya never know until it happens.

This box out but not push out was the philosophy I was employing. However, it seems that most everybody else would disagree with us. In the future, I'll probably pass on this call. However, in the paint I'll still call the "clear out." The POE seems very clear about displacement.
As for the call, it was in the second half. It had not happened before (or afterward) in that game, and was so uncharacteristically aggressive compared to the play in the rest of the game, that I called it without a second thought.
As to the T, I think I'll just show him the stop sign...and then WHACK him if he carries on, even a little.
