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

Playing no "and 1s" is ridiculous and i've never heard of that...

Why do you play that way?

[/ QUOTE ]

because its the right way.

there are no refs and there shouldn't be. you either make the basket or not. you think you got fouled? call it and you get another chance. get fouled and make the shot? count the basket. possesion over. you've made your point. now play some D.

woooh wooh i just read this last post, so if you score you don't maintain possession?? I thought you get the basket you again start with the ball was totally totally standard. And ofcourse if you score a basket and are fouled basket just counts theres nothing more to do.

We typically play halfcourt to 11, everything ones.

Offense calls all fouls, but no one rarely calls any unless its really blatant. Also whoever makes the first basket decides if they wanna play winners outs or losers outs.

imitation,

"The fouls thing really pisses me off because when the game is at 4 all (don't have to win by 2 here) the fouls are very heavy in the paint."

Sounds like you need to join a country club with a nice indoor basketball court and sauna and stuff.

Northeastern University - standard

Always make it take it.

When three-point shots have a 3:2 value compared to normal shots, yes, but 2:1 overdoes it. In winter there's a 4x4 half court intramural league with scoring by 1's and 2's, and it's dominated by shooters; aka, it's weak.

That's why we go by 1s and 1.5s in my hood.

for some reason the rules of basketball went out the window when playing street ball. anyone have any idea why? i have a few racist theories.
