Ha! That's a good one, Oz.

You'll never draw us over to the dark side . . .

I think the deep-seeded hatred for FIBA comes from two sources: (1) we invented the game and the rules - FIBA went and changed them. (2) The whole 1984 US vs. Russia game was decided by the VP of FIBA, if I remember correctly.
I know certain Canadians that would object to that "we".

But in all seriousness - is the FIBA rule better? And how does the NFHS go about changing the rules?
