I do one thing that pisses people off. If I get fouled on the shot, I wait to see if it goes in before calling a foul. Even if I damn near get my head ripped off, it pisses people off because they want the foul called by the offensive player the instant it happens. What's the rule here?
Another question. If someone guards you and grabs the wrist of the hand you're not dribbling with that causes you to lose control of the ball and they steal it. Is that a foul? I called a guy on that today and he got butt hurt saying you weren't dribbling with that hand. I dunno, seems like a foul.
Initiated contact by the defender is a foul, unless he's using his forearm with your back to him, or he has his hands on the ball. Period. Grabbing an offensive player is always a foul, and if they call you a pansy for it, tell them to defend you like a man instead of trying to grab your hands.
But if you're in the act, you should call the foul as soon as possible. If the shot goes in, you can still call the bucket good, at least that's the way with all the pick-up I've played.
that's the rule
It is a foul, whether they grab your hand, foot, or not. Its a foul.
Cry Havoc: I do tend to mess with that sometimes. Sadly, in my area, if you call a foul the basket does not count regardless if it goes in or not. That's why I don't call foul sometimes, that's why people get mad at me for not calling em lol.
I need to try to fix the habit because the previous poster is right, if it goes in it counts. Letting the refs on TV mess with me.
Ya, the foul thing baffled me, the guy didn't even hit my hand, he literally grabbed the wrist on one hand, I guess to keep me from protecting the ball so he could hit it and not have me grab it with that hand.
BTW, that lakaluva is taking being a tool to a new level.
I expect too much of my teammates I guess.
you could do the same to him too
toughen up
and explain the rules
Na, I try to play D as clean as I can. I'll just stick with the rules. Most people don't do much if you stay in front of them. Grabbing and pushing is stuff old guys use to compensate.
If you get fouled in the act while you're in mid-shot, I've never played on a court anywhere that doesn't allow the shot to count if it goes in.
*You go up for a shot*
"AH! Got one!" *swoosh*
"Count it."
That's the way I've always, always seen it played.
1. that should not happen. You could get yourself hurt easily playing with simians like that. In my league we take care, it don't make no sense to go to the hoop and roll an ankle even if u play for money. If u don't believe me just wait till serious injury happens (and it does happen frequently).
2. lol if that someone learned ball in the 80s tell them to wake up. On purpose contact off ball is ALWAYS a foul, don't matter if u poke his eye, tap his , trip him, etc. Always a foul on initiated contact.
There are exceptions: when u tip a pass and you don't have clear possesion of a ball and another player tries to reach the ball there can be some contact if both players try to get the ball directly (no pushing or like that).Anyways those are extremely rare but gots with no game always invoke the most wild s for excuse.
Check the manual on nba.com.
3. it's considered cool or to
a) play it rough as and call "blood=foul"
b) play it pussy like where every think he dwade.
Best advice: get into a serious group if u care for your health and want to play some serious ball. Btw, if people know how to play its quite common to shoot a free throw per foul. Furthermore to discourage fouling there are variations like losing on 10 team fouls for ex.
Now some gots would say this is pussyfication, but the same gots won't be able to play hafl the year due to injuries and thus will never be able to evolve/maintain a certain level.
That being said, stop bein a pussy go out there and a up if they trippin.
We're just a mix of young guys and geezers, we never track fouls. Just check the ball again. I don't think there's been an offensive foul ever called by a defender ever with the group I play with.
Regarding injury, it's not a problem mostly just rolled ankles, dislocated one of my fingers(twice in the same game) a couple months back, just incidental that happens.
My take is it's my fault for not calling fouls the instant they happen and that grabbing someone's arm is not cool. It's always the athletic guys that hack the out of my arms that I have to call this on and they always have the same reaction.
say 'and1'
problem solved. god bless you and your family.
Yeap. I always used to yell this, then walk to the other end of the court after the shot went in.
Think about it, if it doesn't work that way then there's reason for the defender to initiate some sort of contact each and every time just in an attmpt to throw the shot off.......they ain't sittin after 6.
I usually yell and 1. Seems to work for me. If I made the shot, it counts. If not, ball.
I never call them cause they ALWAYS go in.
