"Play"

I've seen some say "BallBallBall..." whenver they closely guard someone. This is whether or not the offensive player has used their dribble. Then there would be a change to "DeadDeadDead..." to seemingly alert the defense to the fact that the dribble was used. Perhaps players now play defensive a little more tightly in hopes of getting the 5 second count.

Don't think so, Nu1.
I'm thinking the trap is on, or the trap is off.

The di,di,di,di,di,di,di,di,di is merely easier to say and less breath consuming, cuz you don't hafta close your mouth for the "B".
