Basketball is a fast-paced sport with a lot of moving parts within a condensed area, so it can be tough making a judgement on how some fouls should be called. One of the biggest controversies, both in the SSC leagues as well as the pro’s, is the difference between a charging foul and a blocking foul.
While the NCAA temporarily banned the Slam Dunk back in 1967 as they felt “it was not a skillful shot,” despite being such a crowd pleaser, the SSC has a few different reasons for banning this kind of shot from our leagues.
Above all else, the CSSC is a Recreational Sports League! Our goal is to encourage as many people as possible to throw their running shoes on and to enjoy themselves no matter what their skill level may be. If you didn’t already know, our motto actually is “fun-first, winning-second” and it’s a slogan we strongly believe in. We’re very dedicated to running leagues with positive sportsmanship. Although we follow-up with teams that are not meeting that expectation, we also keep an eye out for the teams that proudly represent it.
