Why the disdain? FIBA rules are used in most of the world, US excluded. One thing they do provide is a consistent set of rules across levels and accoss countries. In the U.S., following rules from high school to women's college, to men's college to the nba will make you dizzy and confused if you are looking for a consistent rationale.
US olympic teams used to reasonably have disdain for players outside the US. Now that would be just plain silly. I think most high level players realize that the rest of the world is catching up and has something to offer on the court. And in the rule book.
