And I never said I would ever say that to a coach. I was describing the intent of that act. It is not a basketball act. It is a weak move to make up for a lack of real defense. If the kid pokes the shooter with enough contact to warrant me blowing the whistle, that's an easy call for me. I can easily tell a coach that the contact from the poke in the stomach was a foul.
