Every violation is subjective if the rules aren’t well understood. How many times do you see guys carrying the ball trying to bust an And1 move?

Instead of picking and choosing which rules you want to play with, try thinking about the intent of the rule.

which should be the only rules you think about as it is the highest level

State that a player who attempts a field goal may not be the first to touch the ball if it fails to touch the backboard, basket ring or another player..

THEREFORE YOU ARE WRONG.

In addition how do you determine what is a legitimate shot attempt, and not some globetrotter circus type move. You need a ref, and there is no ref in street ball. It leaves too much room for subjective decisions. So I say once the ball leaves your hands after shot, pass or just losing the ball altogether you cant touch it unless it hits rim or backboard or another player, or else it’s a travel.

I just tried to explain this rule during a pickup game. I even argued with guys on my team! Can you point me to some “official” rules so I can print them out and rub it in?

Is it a foul?
