I'm fast enough to usually avoid getting hit on the shooting arm, but I get plenty of contact on the off-hand/arm which, since I'm a smaller player, can and does throw me off-balance and influence my shot. I consider it a foul, but I rarely win that battle unless I'm taken to the floor.

Thanks in advance...
I still play a lot of pickup ball. Most guys I play with wouldn't want that foul given to them and wouldn't call it themselves in a pickup game. We are expected to play through that contact.

In adult rec leagues I allow a lot more contact than I would in a high school or college game.
