No kidding, not 30 seconds after I read this, an announcer for the Outback bowl said, "He dialed up a trick play and Wisconsin snuffed it out." You're right, that is a ridiculously overused phrase.

"over the back foul"
"reaching foul"
"baseline" (unless you're talking about the backboard)

My all time, least favorite over-used phrase is 'Step Up.'

Lebron is injured and his replacement needs to 'step up' and replace him.
