Canada Basketball has really been pushing FIBA rules over the last few years by threatening to take funding away from provincal associations etc.... University coaches in Ontario voted unanimously (21 to 0) to keep NCAA rules yet they are switching to FIBA because of the funding issue (at least that's my understanding).
Personally I like NCAA rules which could be adapted for high school (similar to Federation) but nobody's interested in what I think. Our job is to referee with the rules that the leagues have adopted not to mandate what rules they play.
BTW Canuckref, I don't think it's a big deal which three fingers you use. I use the last three fingers to signal an attempt for FIBA games and no one has ever said anyhting; I think evaluators have bigger concerns than which fingers are used. I know some people on this board will disagree with that last statement.
