Why ???

The one and only year that my daughter played recreation basketball, there was a "you have to play man to man defense" rule. Whenever one of my daughter's teammates would get beat, she would leave her man to help on defense, and was told by the officials (parents/coaches/volunteers) that this was not allowed. Also, there were no free throws in this league. She was a pretty decent player, and every time she would drive to the basket, she would get hammered, and the only penalty was that her team would get to inbound the ball. She became quite frustrated, as was I, and the next year we both decided that she should try out for the travel team, and play "real" basketball.
