I think anyone who's played ball for awhile knows when a rule is just being abused in a pickup game.
Calling 3 seconds is just absurd in a pickup game. There are times when charging and moving screens need to be called though, but it has to be OBVIOUS and over the top. If im just standing there and you come at me full steam with your head down, its going the other way. If I go up for a shot and someone trys to slide over and take the charge? *****.
On a screen ill give you a step either way but any more than that and youre getting a shoulder to the gut or chin.
If I had to choose though, id rather play a game thats overly physical than overly soft.
