I had one of my players tell me her MS coach taught her to step on the sneaker of the person in the lane box next to her on FTs. I told her she would sit if that's how she needed to get an adavantage on rebounding. And i told her to re-learn how to block out.
But moving into the HS ranks of AAU, I see a lot more shirt grabbing, off-ball forearms, body shots, etc. Especially stting under the basket scouting other teams. Never underestimate the creativity of older players to try to get an advantage, whether coached to do it or doing it on their own volition. They want to win and will do what they can get away with doing.
