Basketball Streetball Rules

imitation · #1 04-20-2006, 01:36 AM

From the weird thread about picking homosexuals to play ball. What is standard street ball rules, if I play at my university where this is always about 15 courts of pick up games going standard is first to 5 all baskets are ones, if I play with high school punks near my house they often play until 7. These games are always halfcourt 3v3 or 4v4.

Is this standard?

How about fouls, I am constanstly pissed off about playing streetball because I constantly get fouled in the post and make a basket fractionally after but the defence always calls the foul as before the shot, should the rules be only offence can call fouls.

The first rule of street basketball is you do not talk about street basketball.

Call your own fouls, don't be a bitch, one point per basket, play to 11, halfcourt. This is how we used to play.

This sounds like nothing I've ever seen or heard of at any playground anywhere. WTF kind of pussy games are you playing?

I always play to like 15 by ones. 7 or 5 is not enough to get in the game. Too many games decided by lucky shots and half court 7 point games are gonna be quick. I have never played where the defense calls fouls to get baskets overturned. Sounds like you play with a bunch of douches. Usually the arguments are about guys on offense calling bs fouls to bail themselves out, while douchy is somewhat understandable.
