No idea what the population has to do with it. You can only put 5 on the floor at a time. This particular school has an enrollment of less than 300.

That's crap - I have a friend that played basketball in the USA. He went to a private high school in New York on a full scholarship. The school payed for his education and he lived with a host family.
As to population - if you have 250+ million people to pick from surely you will get better players (and referees) then if you only have 20 million to pick from.
Having said that - I agree with Rut (not something I say often). Considering the different rules and mechanics and style of basketball - the conversation of who is better is a little pointless.
