Fed vs FIBA
Hey.
I did a tourney this past weekend that used FIBA rules, with the exception of the uniform and shot clock rules, which used the Federation rule. Here are some observations:
Overall, it's a great game. Do I prefer it to Fed? I'm indifferent. I don't really care. (Gosh, I sound like JRut.) I'm not opposed that games seemingly take less time to play. :) Anyone else out there have experience with both rule sets? |
Why do you think it took less time? What differences would account for that; just shooting fewer free throws?
|
That is possible. That, and exceptional dead ball efficiency. :D

I do not know what the rules set has to do with how long a game takes unless you are playing similar time frame (same quarter length or time in halves).
I guess ultimately there is a point in this post. But it is hard to figure out what point you are trying to make. :rolleyes: Peace |

An average game is between 85 and 100 minutes, depending on the number of fouls, of course. Before the division into four quarters I used to say to young officials that a game over 90 minutes is a long game. Now, add 5 minutes for the new intermissions and 95 is a good game length. The signal for two shots is awful, IMHO. The bigger differences, for example in basket interference, remain. And, remember, a personal foul can be on either live or dead ball. Ciao |
Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) Women's switched to FIBA rules this year and many have complained that the games seem to be longer than before. One thing that seems unnnecessary is two minutes between quarters.

Did you have to take metric language lessons? :rolleyes:
