Boxout or Boxing out is a technique used in basketball to obtain rebounds. A player boxes out another player by positioning himself between the other player and the basket; he or she then uses their buttocks to push the other player away, thereby gaining an advantegous position over the oppossing team's rebounder. The action can also be called "blocking out" or "butting-out".
