There's a simple reason for that. In some european countries showing the pinky, ring and middle fingers is a quite rude gesture. Therefore fiba officials show thumb, index, middle insted. And also (I think) becuse it's not as easily mistaken for nr.4 as with the Ncaa signal.
And I wouldn't mind a little more fiba discussion around here
