I'm now talking to FIBA officials out there.

Since the beginning of the current season, Canada adopted the FIBA mechanics and signals, so this is the first year I use them. Some people in my local association told me that FIBA mechanics required the trail official to signal each and every valid basket to the table (which I think is completely useless). I tried in vain to find a reference in the rules and the referee's manual. Could someone tell me if signaling every valid field goal is required?
Not everyone in Canada has adpoted FIBA yet, QR! Although I do see it happeningin the near future (rumor is next season) we are still using NCAA with modifications in MAnitoba. Is there any other sites as good as this one where they reference specifically FIBA rules?
Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. The information I've had was that all Canada was turning to FIBA rules, mechanics and signals this season.

I don't know of other FIBA-related sites but the official ones. I haven't looked for some, though.
