    Someone is always squeeze through the rules.
    While I am not big on taking charges.
    [Only time I take the CHARGE Pose is in a 2 on 1 fastbreak
    and I am in the middle. I either take the charge pose and force the pass
    or just move out the way . . which is weak]

    I hate that folx abuse the No Calling Carry Rule
    Take three bounces to go from Rim to Rim sucks

    There are no charges in pick-up basketball. It's just a no call. Frankly, sliding over to try to take a charge isn't only stupid, it's dangerous. You can end up undercutting someone and they can get really hurt.

    If the player beat you to the basket, let them score. Fouling them or getting under them isn't in the spirit of the game. Charges are for organized games with refs.
