IIRC, FIBA timeouts go through the table and are only recognized during a stopped clock dead ball or when the team is due a throwin (not yet started???) after a made basket....and if they don't have one, the table just ignores the request.
Just found this document that covers this difference and others... http://www.fiba.com/asp_includes/dow...sp?file_id=518 |
Taking a look at the rest of that file, it seems like it's pretty old. A lot of the information they have for the NBA and WNBA is outdated. Heck, it still states that FIBA has a trapezoid lane, and I believe they changed it to a rectangular lane with the NBA dimensions as well as added a restricted area the past year.
Still it's always interesting to see the differences between FIBA and North American codes and see their take on the game.
