You can only imagine the number of Australian players and coaches that "learn" the rules by watching the NBA (or NBL which has similar rules). Being able to say to them "no, that's the rule in the NBA. However, with FIBA the rule is (blah)".

This is also very true here. I'm still amazed when coaches say to me, "TWO shots for a technical?!?! Since when?" The first time I heard it, I didn't know what to say. But now I respond (trying not to sound tired, sarcastic, or superior), "Yes, it's always been two shots under high school rules."
