I know what you mean when people don't know the rules. I've played in the Parks and Rec Men's League for the last 3 years. The first year drove me nuts because there were too numerous to count situations where there should have been a foul called and there wasn't or they booted a rule. I have learned to deal with the no foul calls(basically by determining what I will be able to get away with and using it. At no point trying to hurt anyone. But things like almost using a stiff arm to keep one guy away from a loose ball.)

However, the times that they completely boot a rule drive me absolutely nuts. Had one this year where a ball got wedged between the rim and backboard and they gave the ball to the defense. Not because they had the arrow but because our shot wedged the ball there.

Sorry just wanted to vent about our league a little.
