I've been in sports situations like this--basketball. You raise the level of physicality to 1) what you feel like, 2) what gives you an advantage, 3) to the level of your opponent, 4) less than the level that causes injury, 5) less than the level that really pisses off your opponent. Assuming that this is pickup ball. If it's organized ball, then it's about what the refs will allow.
If it's church ball you stay outside the three point line and try to avoid any contact whatsoever. Crazy people who don't know how to play. But they do know how to hurt you.
