We (as a crew) had three of them on Monday night.

Thanks guys- I think I needed some positive reinforcement to make this call.

I called only one last night. I probably should have had two or three. My partner didn't call any and he was the R, so I followed his lead a little. I'll be a little stronger next time.

Once the jump ball is over, it doesn't matter who is R and U (except for certain circumstances). Make the correct call even if your P is not. Maybe you making the call with give him the "testicular fortitude" (insert picture of a certain squirrel here) to make the right call.

Not only do they undercut the shooter, but sometimes they will extend their arms around each side of the shooter basically boxing them in. If the shooter even attempts to move around them, I got a hold.

You make the calls and 1 of 2 things will happen. Either they will stop or they will foul out. Choice is theirs.

Why not simply use your voice and inform the player to "knock it off" and that "we won't have that tonight"?

Here in The Constitution State, the act of positioning one's self such that they are between the basket, and another player, so as to increase the probability that they will gain possession of a rebound, is called boxing out.

Yet, as in the title of this thread, I hear people from other parts of the country use the term blocking out to mean the same thing. Is this a local thing, or a regional thing?

To me "boxing out" means putting a body on someone, not just obtaining a superior position on the floor.

I used the term "box out" for a long time. About 15 - 20 years ago, a varsity coach that I assisted used the term "block out" for the same act as "boxing out."

While some of the posters here have implied something sinister or illegal, it is simply the act of getting/staying between the basket (and eventually, the ball) and the opponent. Generally defensive players "box out", but offensive players can "box out" if they are able to get inside position -- frequently when the defense is playing a zone defense.

I have had the same situations on where is the shooter is located. ,Most of the time it is after the shooter comes down, and there is lot of displacement when the defender is trying to BOX out. I just call the foul right away, while going table side I now will go talk to the coach and tell him what is happening out on the floor,only if there is any questions. By the way people it is now 4 years side my loader escapdes, and I'm still using it, not sweating as much!!!
