When my buddies and I ball, we play without fouls unless it’s a really awfull one and the offensive player calls it.
But when we play against others, it’s common that they call the silliest fouls. Many of them play ball in a club or have done so, but they dont know how to separate that from streetball.

Much love from Denmark

Yeah I rarely call fouls, most of the time it’s not worth the arguement unless it’s ultra blatent.

Grew up in the city, grew up in Dyckman Park where the pick-up ball was solid, played in the Battlegrounds on Amsterdam and 152nd street in Manhattan, up in the Bronx in Edenwald Projects with Shane from AND 1… I’ve been around.

Russ:

I’ve been in that park, and i remember walking around waiting for the arguement to end rather than playing. If the run is strong you hate to leave but when it gets to the point where it goes tick for tack at point up, you get frustrated. I’d rather go to a park where the players understand and respect a call then go to one where a kid is arguing when he runs into a kid who has his hands straight up, or the worse, where a kid gets cleanly stripped and he says “ball.” As far as respecting your teammates, I feel that, but as you and I both know, you get more respect from them and the opposition if you stay
real with your calls.

If I’m ballin’ in the park and there are about 5 nexts waiting on the sidelines that means if I lose it’s either go home or wait an hour and a half before I get back on the court.Therefore, if you foul me, I call it. And if I don’t,I will surely get alot of mouth from my teamates because they don’t want to go home either.

I’m down for the no foul rule, it makes you want to finish every shot.
