Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 1234582, member: 127"] He didn't just box out he turned then pushed back because he was late boxing anyone out. Boxing out is being in front of the opponent and using your body position to give you the advantage for the rebound against that opponent. The Villanova player was in front of McC but hadn't matched up to box out any specific player. The Nova guy waited till the ball had bounced out too far to actually box out and pushed back after McC had jumped to get the rebound. Boxing out is done before the ball hits the hoop not after it's trajectory is known. McC has the right to the space below him to come down not to have his legs taken out by pushing back while he's in the air. Boxing out doesn't give one the right to the space behind them . [/QUOTE]
