We called fouls on ourselves. No ticky-tack BS. Contact was normal. It wasn't a foul unless you absolutely hacked someone. Same thing happened at college - people would call shit that never would have been called in my hometown.
Maybe Indiana is just different that way.

ok. but where you can call your own fouls is a whole different thing. I'm talking about tournaments/games where fouls ain't called much. there are guys that foul on purpose, intentionally.
also, it sounds like you're saying the kids you grew up with didn't call shit on each other- that's different-
