What happened to "over the back"?
 
During the Villanova-St. Mary's game this morning (Pacific time), the "color commentator" said a Villanova player committed an "over the top" foul. OK, what's next - "over the shoulders"? :confused:

Not sure how it's pronounced, but it's spelled Raftery.

From his Wikipedia page...

"Onions!" (a shot that requires some balls)

"A little lingerie on the deck"

"A nickel-dimer"

"Verne Lundquist, the butler bulldogs come out .......... mantoman"



PS.. I tried to figure the best way to spell man-to-man the way he says it... I came up with these options - mantoman, mntmn, mn-t-mn, mantman... any thoughts?
