Is that the FIBA rule? I wouldn't know. I know about as much about those as I know about soccer.

The team that wins the toss must hold the ball outside the three-point arc until 30-seconds or less are left in the period. The team that loses the toss must play zone defense inside the three-point arc for the entire period.

I like that, especially if you add that all players except the ball handler must sit down on the court during that time.

It sure would give me the opportunity to catch up on my reading during games.
