Difference between NBA & FIBA

[Bobby]

Smart referees know that's creating an advantage. Violation.

Also Europe won't be sending its best referees to the Olympics. A dispute between FIBA and ULEB makes it impossible for any Euroleague or ULEB Cup officials to work Olympic matches. They are probably working on the new NBA rules to be in effect for the upcoming year (time outs in final two minutes and block-charge).

Interesting, too, in the Euroleague, this new rule: the ball may be sent to the backcourt when the ball is inbounded from the center line on resumption of play following a time-out in the final two minutes.
