Well, on this site, we used to call it "banging" to give a T to a coach. It just started feeling weird to me to talk about banging this coach and banging that coach and how many coaches have you banged this year. I managed to get it changed to "whacking". THere may still be connotations, but they're not quite as lascivious.

I love "whacking" a coach. It just fits in with my Godfather lifestyle.

I don't know if you're linking me as the phantom 'esteemed member' or not but my post was merely a (failed) attempt at humor by hijacking the parent's sig and ....oh well nevermind.

Well, there's 10 second, 5 second, and 3 second violations. Interestingly, none of those are considered player control fouls...

Going to the hole.
Slamming it home.
Scoring.
Getting penetration.
Stuffing it down someone's throat.
