My comment was partly an observation of games that I watch with friends. We're not too concerned with missing 2nd and 3rd quarter action, because so many games are tied (or very close to it) with 2 or less to play - which is where lots of great action is.
Yes, FIBA advances the ball under 2 minutes.
