I blame Stern, the AAU, and the NBA culture in general
Ive never seen flopping. But I have noticed even as I'm walking by a park I hear an extraordinary amount of foul calls by kids arond 12 YO. it's disgusting. Even in NYC. Fouls were rare when I grew up. Mostly happened on point game when people would start hacking
My friend went to UCLA and said pick up games 100 times worse
Where I play no one calls fouls. When we were kids everyone used to call them, but as you get older you just have to take your daily dose of man the F up.
Look ma, no hands!

Still, some dudes really cross the line and act like they got 6 fouls to give.
Offensive fouls are non existent at my league... Hacking is ever so prevalent especially on the big men since they just crash the lane cause they know no one is going to take a charge.
I played with these young dudes 18-20 awhile back outdoors and they were calling timeouts, taking smoke breaks, and using subs. I was like....."What in the hell, things done changed!"
Young cats these days spend too much time indoors and online. I had infinite energy and no responsibilities when I was a young teen.

I can understand subs if there's too many people but timeouts? Smoke breaks? Wtf?

I hate this, the fact that there's no FT's shouldn't dictate how you guard someone. It isn't really basketball anymore when someone tries to go up after a board and they get borderline mauled.
Kudos to you though for recognizing and embracing an un-ethical loophole in a social activity that has no real consequences. *Thumbs up*
My boys and I went to play one time, we were all so winded after like 20 minutes. We planned to go up to 11, win by 2, but we just decided to play to 5
