Are the rules more complicated?
Yes. I am a grunt level volleyball official, and I can assure you there are orders of magnitude of difference in the complexity of the rules. Volleyball is a nice game, athletic, high speed, competitive, but it doesn't carry the weight of rules. Of course neither does streetball. I did a couple games yesterday with a mix of graduated D1 and D2 players and you might have been stunned to hear some of their versions of the rules. I was stunned to hear as much mouth as I did. To some extent, it goes with the outdoor game. They just think they're in their own kitchen, so to speak. The team that mouthed less won, and the player who mouthed less was the best player in the game . . . oh boy.
