Forgot one...
Saw a 6th-grade boys' travel team employ the Hack-A-Shaq defense. Big guy for the visitors was scoring every time he caught the ball on the low block, but had missed a couple FTs earlier. With two minutes left in a tie game, the home team started fouling him every time he touched the ball. He went 0-for-6 but home kept missing. Then with 20 seconds left they fouled a different guy (I think one of the kids misunderstood the strategy) and that guy made both, and the visitors hung on for a 28-26 win!
