3 seconds....THREE SECONDS!!!

Had a game the other night where the Visiting team would consistently lower their shoulder and SLAM into the defensive rebounder who had position in front of them...we had 4 quick fouls on them for this. Their Coach - as I am reporting the 4th to the table - says to me:

"Well, I see you guys down here don't know what boxing out is." (They were from the northern part of the state).

My reply: "Coach, slamming into someone and knocking them 5 feet across the key is NOT boxing out."

Coach: "But we teach them to do that!"

Me: "Ok Coach. But we're gonna call it."

Coach: "But how am I supposed to get them to stop doing it now?"

At that point I just walked away...interestingly enough, they only did it maybe twice more the entire game.
