Rulz Is Rulz, Even If They're Stupid Rulz ...
The first year my daughter started playing basketball, probably fifth grade, after giving up dancing, the recreation league that she played in had a no zone rule, just man to man. My daughter was a pretty smart player. Whenever a teammate would get beat, she would leave her man to defend the ball handler. Officials: "Sorry, can't do that. Stay with your man".
She was a pretty good ball player for a beginner. She wasn't shy about going to the hoop when she got the ball, and the girls defending her weren't shy about fouling her to prevent her from scoring. Officials: "No free throws. We don't have lane lines on the court, and it takes too long to set up. Possession out of bounds".
She signed up for travel ball the next winter. We had enough of that nonsense.
