I see you've chosen option #1, that we are discussing the same mechanics and are both 100% sure that rules and statistical evidence supports our opposite viewpoints.


There was an option #2...

Why don't I help you here. I'll admit my description of the dynamics and mechanics involved was not as clear as neccessary for us to agree on what we both know is 100% correct.

Ryan, we all know what you're talking about. You're simply wrong. If a box out moves, displaces, or even knocks the opponent off balance, a foul has been committed. By definition, the person boxing out didn't get to that spot first since he knocked the opponent out of it. Does it ofen go uncalled? Yes. Usually because it is determined that in spite of the contact, the rebound still ended up in the same hands as if the contact had never occured. However, in some cases, this will not be true. The foul must then be called.
