If it's on the line, it is considered BC status. But a throwin from the FC cannot be retrieved by the throwin team in the BC.

Interesting.

A long time ago I got a chance to help out a company that sponsors trips to different countries as a favor to a co-worker. On one particular trip, I got to help with mundane things like bus schedules, but also got a chance to officiate some games with the local referees using FIBA rules. I read the rules before going there, but thank goodness I let the local officials handle the unusual plays. You would think "basketball is basketball", but there are so many variations.

I do believe that there will be many more threads regarding FIBA rules to come. Now that almost all of Canada has switched over.

Hey we all have something to share and learn ....

Who hasn't switched over?

My understanding is that there are some associations in Ontario that are not switching. Since they provide more players into the NCAA system then why would they, I guess. This is not a confirmed answer just what I have heard.

I was under the impression that it was mandatory for everyone across Canada to switch. That to be eligible for money that Canada Basketball was doling out, you needed to be FIBA.
