Yeah, I can see how the metric system is so much better than what we use.
No wonder you never see a 3 second violation under FIBA. They count in their head:

1 micromillidiggitydiggitydiggitydiggitieliters
2 micromillidiggitydiggitydiggitydiggitieliters

Especially if a coach is hollering '3 seconds' and makes the official lose count.

just for clarity:

fiba officials do not dribble into their whistles, and in the rare event an american ncaa/hs official works a fiba game: we have the table issue them a fresh new whistle after every tweet it slows the game down, but once everyone understands its a yank official their fine with it.
