I don't even think he's being petty. His beef is legit.
Maybe I'm whining because I have a Post Scorer too. But it can be ridiculous. I played a game of 21 the other day in rivet and was fouled 25 times in total. TWENTY FIVE FOULS, one had 12, the other 13.
They have no reason to not foul you. There's no threat of being punished for a reckless steal attempt, and there is no reason to avoid racking up a ridiculous number of fouls if you're looking for the win.
I liked it better last year. The same thing would happen but after 4 or 5 fouls the guys would start to chill out. They didn't want to get kicked out of the game and it created a situation where you could tell they were trying to avoid fouling, which opened up things for my game. It made it easier to recognize who could actually play defense and who couldn't.
Right now these guys don't have to actually defend me. They just spam square without consequence and my only chance is to pass the ball out before the double team of swatting hands gets to me.
