How do you handle a disputed call in a basketball pick up game?

I just pretend I'm LBJ and if you touch me I get to shoot free throws.

Where I come from, we shoot for it. And I ain't talking bout be free throws though

I call fouls on myself and except others to do the same. If somebody hacks me and doesn't say anything it will come back to them eventually.

But feel compelled to quote Cable Guy:

"Oh I see, we're playing Prison rules huh?"

I'm not a pussy, so I don't call ticky tack stuff.

Typically we argue for like 30 seconds (or maybe even a minute depending on whether the call is on game point).

Usually someone from the offending team will speak up and say it should be a foul or someone from the accusing team will say it wasn't a foul. The same applies for being called "out". If neither happens, the accused player will shoot for ball.

I'm lucky to have a group I play with once a week where everyone shows up and plays very physically, but still gets along, and usually treats each other with respect. We play for about 2.5 hours, and it's probably the highlight of my week.

eta: On obvious fouls, everyone will usually call it on themselves, but if someone's arm gets hit enough to affect their shot, and the offender doesn't call it, the shooter usually will.

Shoot for it.

Ball Don't Lie!
