Skip the first part, "He got him with the body, coach."
You can usually avoid this by giving a "block" signal when reporting it.

I prefer using the "push" signal, if you use the "block" signal it sometimes still baffles a coach. But that is just me

Do you use a "travel" signal for backcourt violations? Oy.

Well the "push" signal means "charging" as well. So if there was a block attempt that I did not consider legal, then I would use the "push" signal. Not sure why I would use the "block" signal at all in a case like that. Then again that is me.

Peace

Actually, you're right. I misspoke; generally I use the push/charge signal. Occasionally, a blocking foul is involved, though.
