Yet another reason why FIBA is idiotic.

WTF - get off your high-horse! It actually makes a lot more sense. The game clock doesn't start until a player touches the ball, therefor the 5 second count doesn't stop until the same.
Oh I'm sorry - since I disagree with you I'm obviously an idiot!

Ah, go have cold one and chill out. I'm just participating in Padgett's favorite activity -- FIBA bashing for the sake of FIBA bashing (or is it the French?). 
I don't really care one way or the other about how the rule is written.
PS FIBA could change all of their rules to match the NCAA and their governance would still be idiotic! 
Now just wait until the real FIBA basher shows up...

This is exactly the sort of thing that gives Americans a lousy reputation. Some (and I'm NOT saying all) Americans have this weird idea that because they are the ones doing something a particular way - that makes it right.
Different does not mean wrong.

Even that motorcycle you were selling a coupla years ago was on the wrong side of the road, wasn't it?
