man on

Basketball coverage warning

Man on is a warning shouted to a teammate, especially in soccer, to alert them that an opponent is approaching from behind or from a blind spot: Man on! Turn!

The call helps a player receiving the ball know they're under immediate pressure and should play quickly or shield the ball.
