In my high school conference we had even numbers for our home jerseys and odd numbers for our road jerseys (or vise versa, I don't remember specifically). It helped prevent scorers from accidentally giving fouls or points to the wrong team.

That was the norm at one time.

Any idea why they got rid of it? Was it an official rule or just one of those unwritten standards?

I don't remember it being a rule, but someone older and smarter than I am may correct me. I'm not even sure everyone did it everywhere.

Australia game
Did anyone see the intentional fouls that were called early in the 1st quarter.
One went against Patty Mills when the Aussie's were inbounding and committed a turnover. Mills put a hand on the player that had stolen the ball and they called an intentional. It was so weak. Feeble Refs!

FIBA has a "clear path" rule. Without having full knowledge of the situation that could be a factor.

Bill Kennedy (and I want to say Marat Korgut as well if we're naming NBA officials) have worked on both sides during the tournament. And I've definitely noticed, at least Mr. Kennedy, using some NBA mechanics lol

Yes, that is correct. And now it is time for me to go to bed and get my beauty sleep.
