So what is the big deal with calling BI? I take it that it is fairly rare?

While in a weak moment a few years ago, I was watching basketball at the Olympics where they use FEEBLE, er sorry, FIBA rules. I remember one of the announcers mentioning that, under those rules, there was no such thing as offensive basket interference. That is, if a shot bounced up off the rim above the basket, an offensive player could touch it to put it in even if the ball was still in the cylinder.
OZ, is this still the case? I'm not criticizing, just curious.
