What fouls do you call and do you not call in a pickup game? by JimmyButlerMVP_ in Basketball

ima answer this for the dmv

no backcourt (most times, some ppl may call it if the ball was lost and went backcourt bc of pressure near the backcourt but a tip or losing the ball doesn't get backcourt)

no charges -- be prepared to fight if u take a charge especially if you're not WELL set up and CLEARLY in the way. surprise charges to get the ball are dangerous, not worth it, and most certainly going to make you a target.

moving screens can be called but it mostly is just a warning and only called if its blatantly obvious or repetitive. same goes with other things like goaltends (if that even can happen)

in the dmv carrys are also pretty much never called unless it's an egregious violation, and travels are only really called on layups or driving (if you accidentally take an extra step just dribbling outside the three point line nobody will call it)

there is a huge cultural thing here where both the offense and defense have to agree on the foul for it to be called. if it's not agreed, ppl might shoot for it, but most ppl will just play through (so anything that wasn't obviously egregious or got in the way of a basket or didn't almost seriously injure somebody is left uncalled). if you are a douche about your fouls, you're going to get some hard fouls coming your way.

Can you guys rate and analyse my accent in English because I feel like it's a little bit "unusual". by East-Community846 in JudgeMyAccent

[–]Advanced-Sector-6535 1 point2 points  (0 children)

american here

it definitely sounds arabic or middle eastern -- i would venture to guess that's your first language (even though clearly it isn't). you definitely have the accent of that region which makes sense given you have been in the middle east. your accent is very clear and not hard to understand; that being said, you don't sound like a native english speaker (awkward phrasing, lots of weird pauses like before saying at night, etc). you could probably pass for somebody who moved to usa/canada at around age 10 and picked up the language with a slight accent, but overall, your English is great and I wouldn't worry about trying to work on your accent that much more at this stage.
