Actually English is the official language of FIBA. I believe every team must have an english speaking member. All Officials speak english, some just don't have the best grasp of it.

Correction. There are five official languages in FIBA, but English is the language used during the Technical Meetings. Other languages are French, Spanish, Russian and German.
