Big differences (reading):
Free throws - If the free-throw shooter doesn't commit a violation, and it goes in, count the basket and ignore all violations by other players. Violations matter only if the shot doesn't go in. Also, if the shooter makes the violation, the basket is no good.
NEW: Possession Arrow - Also used to start overtime.

NEW: The European professional game under the auspices of the ULEB and the various European professional federations (source: Euroleague.net) will start enforcing the NBA Block/Charge zone starting this year. That league also has a jump ball under NBA procedures. Neither is used in FIBA.
Time Outs are to be called, yes, by the coach, but only on a dead ball or when scored against.
NEW: No substitution restrictions except in final two minutes of a game, after a successful basket, team scored against may substitute. If such team does, other team may.

Bobby,
Possession arrow to start overtime? Is this new for 2004-2005 because last year the OT started with a Jump Ball.
