I'm fluent in Spanish, and have had the enjoyable opportunity to officiate games between teams from Mexico and some of our local teams, who had invited the Mexican teams to our Spring Fling tournaments. It's interesting how many English words, especially in sports activites, are not translatable, and therefore the Spanish usage has become a semi-pronunciation of the English.
BTW, "Las Reglas Menos-Entendidas de Basquetbol" could be an interesting project.
