I like both sides calling fouls

There's a responsibility on both sides not to call ticky-tack, but it relieves the issues with tough guys on O who refuse to call a foul but still get mad when you foul them.

Playing 1s and 2s is lame no matter how many people are sitting out.

Only thing I would change is girls can stay and cheer

The best teams all press in my experience...

I think he is referring to weeknight/Saturday AM pickup games rather than actual

these are pickup games

Any full-court press in pickup ball should be pretty easy to break if you're

Every once in a while is fine, but a concentrated, game-long full court press

Isn't playing to 11 by 1's/2's longer than to 15 by 2's/3's?

Beest

5/1/15 12:11pm

Yes. Not only does it take longer simply in terms of points needed to win, but

ataylor

5/1/15 12:14pm

yep. amendment. never 1 & 2's

boogers

5/1/15 12:15pm

nice! Also, if playing 3x3, go full court, no passing until past half court

runnincoug

5/1/15 12:14pm

3-on-3 should never be played full court unless you're in one of those tiny

ataylor

5/1/15 12:16pm

4 X 4 full-court is perfect, IMO

scottpete

5/1/15 12:34pm

Like I said, it totally depends on who's playing. If you're playing with good

I love it! But I like getting up and down the court

runnincoug

5/1/15 12:39pm

Ok, but I'm too old and not palying no 3x3 full court.

boogers

5/1/15 12:16pm

Winning team holds court for 2 only games. I hate that

squidmark

5/1/15 12:15pm

I like the 2 games, because then you can mix up the teams again

billyrust

I hate playing with guys the bring their 'posse' and try to dominate

boogers

5/1/15 12:26pm

Or new guys showing up and quickly complaining that they aren't getting the ball

GSwarriorcoug

5/1/15 12:35pm

Wait - so you only care about winning if you get to keep playing?

Eddie

5/1/15 12:32pm

No -- I didn't state that very well. I meant you might as well just state the

squidmark

If you have <16, there's no point playing more than three games w/ same team

CoopDizz

5/1/15 12:54pm

I get "offense calls fouls" but I personally didn't like calling any unless they

billyrust

I like both sides calling fouls

CoopDizz

5/1/15 12:55pm

teams are chosen by shooting free throws.

Do you play with me twice a week? We have all those except a few.

GSwarriorcoug

5/1/15 12:21pm

How about

Tip Tucker

Invited friends shouldn't invite more friends.

CougsOrDeath

5/1/15 12:24pm

Exactly. You've been invited because you've been vetted by the invitee

kotacoug

5/1/15 12:38pm

Yep very true and if everybody just brings one more friend you go from 12 to 18.

CougsOrDeath

5/1/15 12:45pm

Nice list, pretty consistently played

Reedme

5/1/15 12:35pm

One way of playing with more than 10 that works really well is to have subs

runnincoug

5/1/15 12:42pm

I like having short games and no subs, because they play harder and smarter if

GSwarriorcoug

5/1/15 12:48pm

You mean people don't play as hard when there isn't something to play for?

runnincoug

5/1/15 12:53pm

Not really. They are going to play 13 games whether or not there is a conf

I would only add "No Cherry Picking"

Anae4Anae

what?!? I thought cherry picking was strategy #1 in church ball.
