I concur, from memory this is actually specifically allowed in the FIBA rules.

Duane,
Northern Michigan University, which is about a hundred miles South of me, is starting on their men's team: Three Australians, one West German and one Yooper... and a partridge in a fir tree.

Mick, there is no doubt that Australia is definitely becoming one of the more successfull basketball nations (at least with individual players, if not as a team). For example, Lauren Jackson - No1. draft in the WNBL.
What are the names of the Aussies? And what on earth is a Yooper?
BTW - the other player is a German, there is no such thing as a West German anymore (as a nationality that is, he may be from the western part of Germany).

Steve Watts F 6-6 205 Sophomore Perth
Adrian Whitten G 5-9 150 Sophomore Perth Faster than lightning; drives and dishes in the trees.
Damian Matacz C 6-9 235 Senior Perth Continually hustles and dives for loose balls anywhere, blocks shots but won't take a 15' jumper
Please note: The above numbres are not metres, kilograms, hands, stones or other alien measures
Yes, I kicked the German description. Thanks for opening my eyes in order for me to be Germanically correct.
Yooper is from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A peninsula with Lake Superior on top and Lake Michigan below (that is, unless your perspective is the "wrong way to".
