Deny the rebound

A boxout is a block of text set apart from the main content, typically in a magazine or textbook, containing supplementary information, statistics, or sidebars.

The term also appears in basketball, where to box out is to position your body between an opponent and the basket to secure a rebound: He boxed out the center and grabbed the board.
