This situation could be solved if FIBA treated the imaginary cylinder above the rim the same as NCAA, NFHS and NBA. This is my least favourite FIBA rule, once the ball touches the rim it is open season.

You're right, I missed that one. I never had this situation happen to me but I don't see myself explaining that one to the coach who thinks he's been stolen 2 points!
