I play in a Wednesday night summer basketball league. Our team is starting to wonder if we have looks on our faces that piss refs off cuz every game is so lopsided on fouls.
Tonight, I posted up and dropped stepped baseline. My defender swiped down and got all arm. This big slap rang out through the gym and no call. I didn't say anything. Than on the other end, my teammate got called for the same things and I asked the ref, "Can we get that called on the other end, please." I was legit polite, and he T'd me up.
I was fighting for a loose ball and a guy from the other team had it, dribbled off his leg, dove for it, and slid out of bounds with the ball on his leg, and the ref called it out on me. Fouls in the 2nd half were 13-2 against us. 3 of the fouls we committed to put the other team at the line.
It's like this every week.
One guy on our team who can't touch the rim, got called for goaltending on a blocked shot. I am still so mad, I won't be able to go to sleep til I settle down.
