People need to be able to beat their man of the dribble fair & square.

You never heard of a coach telling their players to use their "Arm bar?"

And anytime someone is dribbling, they aren't necessarily trying to beat the defender off of the dribble. If I am initiating my offense and I have a pesky defender, I would like to keep him away. You do this by protecting the ball using the arm bar. If you turn your shoulder, you then become blind to that side of the court. I don't know of this "fair and square" you speak off.

Wow!!! I push off, hook and all that $%##. If you don't call it, then i will just keep doing it. lol. Only becuz if someone does it to me i don't feel like its worth a call. You push off on me and get the bucket so be it. Cuz i would do the same thing, part of basketball right?

I hate this with a passion.  One dude I play with is notorious for this crap.  I play the game straight but whenever I get a step on him I immediately feel a hand or forearm in my ribs pushing

.  Its one thing if it's once in a while but this has become his staple.  I'm all for aggressive defense but if I make you pay for it; accept it, learn from it, and try something else.  No need for cheap shots in a pickup game..

Nice way to square up and dribble but sometimes, it does offensive.
