Does NBA ball mess up your pickup ball game?

Harden up. No blood no foul.

My friend you should invest in some squatting that will prevent you from playing like a .

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.

just call foul its not like there's and 1's in pickup games

I feel your pain on this one. Rec ball sometimes turns into a more complicated process than the NBA. Some people play continuation. Some Don't. Most Don't nowadays it seems.

If you want to continue to play Recball compe ively, I suggest befriending a few friends and always playing with them.

Also, call your fouls early and often. You might hear some complaining initially, but bball is a chess match and if you are calling legitamite fouls early then the defenders might complain but they'll have to adjust or else the game's just not gonna be fun for anyone. Just gotta be more patient. Sometimes you just gotta whine like the babies that you are playing with.
