I went to a HS game a couple of years ago and they were still calling it "clipping". Wonder if a lot of high schools still use that term.

Clipping is going for the knees. BITB is just that... BITB.

Clipping is going for the knees. BITB is just that... BITB.

That's right. Both penalties exist. Clipping is a BITB below the waist and is a personal foul. BITB is just a 10-yard penalty.

They used to be synonymous, but they're not anymore.

Clipping is a 15 yard personal foul. A block in the back is 10 yards. They aren't the same thing.....

That is true, just don't hear that a lot now days, usually just call it a BITB.

This. A block in the back is just that. It's a block executed above the waist, in the back. A clip is below the waist technically.
