At what point when playing full-court 5v5 is it OK, on game point all, to call BS when the opposing team calls a foul every shot?

Here's the situation. Playing to 12 at the community court on campus. Me and my team (one girl, BTW) are up 10-8. They come back to tie it at 11. Every shot they took, they called foul. There was one point where I just went up and got a hand into the shot. Didn't touch ball, let alone the shooter, they called foul (said I hit his hand because I did swat a little bit at his shooting hand, but I'm telling you I didn't touch him).

Of course, you don't argue calls because everybody trusts everybody to be straight, but this poo was ridiculous. Is there a certain point where you say enough is enough and tell them to shove it?

the question you are asking and the bolded line are not congruent with each other, therefore call them out.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
