This.

I'll never take the possession on a moving screen but I'll definitely stop play if it's some OD stuff.  Some dudes don't even know you can't move while screening and just try to push you.  Football players and military guys are often the biggest offenders of this.
 
im the type of cat on defense where you might wanna call a foul especially on game point..but what kills me is that people trip because I hand check when they see they can't do anything against me or when they shoot i might hit their wrist after the ball is relased :rolleyes come on now get real..and they wanna call little pansy calls...I never call fouls even when its obvious common sense shouldn't have to be explained

bringing a clipboard I haven seen that one yet lol

Not to generalize but I've noticed that people from New York or the DMV area like to argue and fight over calls the most.  Anybody else notice that?  I hate playing with dudes like that.  It makes the game last too long.

I am pretty sure it is likely competitive basketball area. Chicago, Detroit, LA.

But yea dudes in DC can spend too much time arguing man. I usually sit back and wait. Never get involved in that foolishness.

And YES I foul if the game is on the line. Intentional foul. I won't try to hurt the dude but you aren't getting a wide open shot for game point.
 
that dude who calls foul on every miss...drives into the lane jumping into people looking for contact and has the audacity to call foul everytime he misses

The thing I hate the most is when a big dude is playing bully ball getting physical but than gets mad and calls fouls when the person guarding him is getting more physical to keep up :smh:

Yup, usually the same guy that stands in the paint for 20 minutes and expects you to do nothing about it. 
 
Idk why, When me and my friends play at my schools rec center, or when im back home its normally just calling those really hard fouls and illegal screens. Occasionally you get the kid who just gets touched and yells out FOUL every single time he slashes in..

play it straight up on jump shots.  I can agree with DC for fouling on a wide open lay-up.  But if you foul on purpose for shooting a J you a corn

When i was in NY i swear to God some guy called me for 3 seconds in the key.
This other time a dude that was on my team called 5 seconds back to the basket. I assumed it was an NY thing cuz nobody complained so I just left.

Guarantee you, that's not an NY thing, it's a you were in the wrong court playing with a bunch of cornballs thing.



Worst thing is to play against hicks. They hack all the time and expect to play by DR rules.
 
Idk if you guys run into this, but whenever you have a majority black team playing against a bunch of white guys at like their college court or whatever, they ALWAYS play zone and tend to call things like charges or 3 seconds lol. I find it pretty hilarious. I Also hate buddy ball when you have 2 or 3 butt buddies on the same team and they just pas to each-other and jack up shots.

And NY guys do argue calls a lot, and tend to play more iso ball from my experience. In Baltimore, we really don't call fouls. Its a respect thing if you go to the rim and get clearly hacked, the defender gives you the ball and you play on. Some dudes have no code and abuse this, and that's how fights and BS start.
 
Lmao at the clipboard.

Reminds me when I was in seattle and some dude recorded the game and before we ran it back he and his boys huddled around the camera to see what they needed to work on for the 2nd game.
 
I love how flopping is completely taboo and frowned upon yet ya'll are the same dudes that foul intentionally when its game point, argue foul calls, foul and wait for someone else to call it, wildly jump in the air for blocks knowing that free throws aren't coming to punish your recklessness. What's the difference? You clearly aren't just playing for sport, you're playing to win. No consequences for fouling COMPLETELY changes the game of basketball and dudes take advantage of it constantly.

I'm not about the Divac flopping life but if someone legitimate fouls me, you better believe I'm screaming and throwing my arms up in the air, word to Kobe. I don't even have to say a word, everyone knows its a foul - I just have to sell it so dudes won't argue. If no one calls it, I play on. B4 someone says you'll get laughed at or beat up in "hood" courts or whatever - nah, NO ONE can tell the difference. I don't try and take charges or anything petty like that - but I do want my fouls to be called. I'm not Lebron, I'm not finishing through ridiculous amounts of contact. :lol:

*shrug*

Man yall soft...my dudes yall must not haven't played real streetball

This, I've played some PHYSICAL basketball at parks when I used to live in Miami. Then after high school I moved 2 hours north to Palm City (A very quiet, white area) Dudes that I play with here are so soft, calling every little touch foul and often seem intimidated by me, and I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary, just playing ball like I grew up playing.

Playing streetball and organized ball are 2 different things. A little physical defense is ok in streetball, not fouling every time of course, but being physical is fine where I'm from. If I play too physical for you, you should either a) call your fouls, or b) play physical back, I hate when dudes choose c) cry like a little b***h, make no calls and just complain the entire game.
