Got a few games under my belt and I've actually seen and had the state of mind to call a PCF be it pushing or a charge. Everyone goes nuts. Could it be because in my youth league these aren't being called ? Of course I don't disount the possibility that I'm must a rookie ...

1. It could be that they aren't being called.

2. Often "everyone" doesn't need much of a reason to go
nuts.

Could you be a bit more specific about the call?

Most people don't have a clue what a PC foul is. It is much easier to sell a block to such people.

We are talking rec league here. Dumb and dumber comes to mind. I say this with no malice, just many years of experience with parents and coaches in a rec legue.

My first PCF I had a parent laugh and say - what he is he doing scratching his head trying to invent something? LOL - At half time I went and handed them a rule book with the spot pointed out about PCFs. I knew the ladie and she just laughed and said "You nailed me again john" Rec parents are fun when you know a parent that you know you'll see the next day in church. But yeah. This player control foul was kid charging between two players when there wasnt even enough room for the ball to fit through.
