PLEASE STOP WITH THE FIBA RIPPING. we all understand by now that you think basketball is an american only sport (or at least the only basketball that counts is played on american soil). i didn't pay my money to read -- at least once in almost every thread -- some comment about Feeble or foreign basketball being inferior.
Enough already, we get it.

I've re-read my previous post that you referred to and I don't see anything in it that demeans FIBA or anyone else. I simply pointed out that most of the discussion here involves NF or NCAA rules. SO, I simply suggested that if you bring a FIBA rule into a discussion, you may want to initially clarify that, especially when the rule is different than NF or NCAA.
BTW, sorry bub, but you didn't pay any money to post on this board and neither does anyone else. It's completely free. If you paid someone, you've been taken. If you guys are so thin-skinned that you can't take a little ribbing from someone on the other side of the world, how can you possibly ignore it on the court. Stop being so sensitive.

When I knew I was wrong. But now I just say "Oh, Shucks", or something to that effect.
And so it could be with some FIBA Officials. They seem overly sensitive and defensive about their rules. Do any other rules have as many protagonists as FIBA? The officials on this forum rip on all dumb rules, no matter whose book in which they are written.
Instead of excessively defending this , why don't we just say "Oh, shucks" and live with what we have to live with?
