Neither. You park there until the ref counts 6 with a tomahawk motion--AKA, pin count. Either the team backs off, or you get 50 points out of the bargain. If you need to, quick shove and back up to try to shake 'em loose.

If the ref DOESN'T count 6 (or more), then you stand in the question box afterwards and ask why no pinning foul was assessed, particularly if you see a ref looking straight at it.
