I, along with many other refs, coaches, and players prefer NCAA based rules to FIBA.
So without knocking FIBA rules, I'll simply side with my closer neighbors to the south.

Since you are obviously familiar with both NCAA and FIBA rules, what (to you) are the advantages that NCAA has over FIBA?
Is it mainly mechanics and the way in which games are run, or is it the actual rule differences that you believe are superior?
I would be really interested in your response.
Cheers

The mechanics aren't that different. It's the rules and flow I enjoy more. To list all the differences would take too long, but here are my favorites:
AP instead of jump balls
Penalty/Bonus (1-1 on the 7th, 2 on the 10th)
Time outs (number of and calling of/ full or 30 secs)
Playing Time (halves instead of quarters)
Substitutions (when permitted and when you bring them in)

Interesting, FIBA used to have 1-1 penalty but that changed about 8 years ago. We also used to play in halves, but that only changed last year. Seems to me, that NCAA is fairly similar to the FIBA rules that I started refereeing with (some 15 years ago). While the current FIBA rules are moving more closely towards NBA (or vice versa).
