Hack-a-Shaq

The term is 'Hack-a-Shaq' regardless of who is getting hacked.  The term was invented to denote the strategy of purposely fouling a notoriously bad free throw shooter.  While this strategy was not invented for Shaq, Shaq was the guy that was there when we invented the term.  Before we invented the term, we had the strategy but no fundamental linguistic denotation to refer to the strategy.  Before Shaq we didn't have the term, after Shaq we did.  Reinventing the term (Hack-a-Howard or Hack-a-Deandre) is not necessary because we already have a term for that....and that term is 'Hack-a-Shaq'. The strategy can be re-appropriated to another player, but there is no need to re-appropriate the term to describe the strategy as there was when Shaq was the one getting hacked.
