Slightly Off Topic, But I'm Dying to Ask ???

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?
