Played after school at Blessed Sacrament outside baskets.  Were on fire escapes and had to wait until the nuns let the grade school kids out.  One out of bounds was the brick wall of the school.  Usually bunch of crappy players but every once in a while high school kids would show up.  Usually half court, winner takes out, play to 11 and win by 2, call your own fouls (if you dare).  Sometimes they would let us up on the top floor where had indoor basketball court, if wanted to shoot from much more than foul line had to shoot line drive or hit metal girders.
Amazing how much basketball I played and never got very good.
Talk about funny, when was in army in 1971 when at Benning after Nam and hanging out before got back into UConn to finish, when went around and if saw basketball game would stop off and play. Started to play and didn't understand what was going on as I missed a shot, opponent got rebound and put it back in.  I asked was that a mistake, don't you have to bring it back to the foul line before you can shoot.  Answer was no.  You can imagine how rough the rebounding got in those games.
