Reminds me of the old saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"...if a person is playing or reffing in an area which uses FIBA rules, you better know the FIBA rules...if not, why should we care what the differences are? I had the opportunity several years ago to ref the Nike World Master's games in Portland, Oregon...it was a blast, and they used international rules for the most part...I worked one game with a guy from Canada and a guy from Australia - interesting to say the least...best part of the whole tournament was reffing the Australian Women's team of 30 and under - they wore those same uniform/tights things their Olympic team wears - made it awful hard to concentrate on the game!!
