1. A wider court in order to increase the spacing for offensive players.

2. Reducing the technical foul penalty to one free throw and possession.

3. Disqualifying any player charged with two technical fouls.

4. Resetting the twenty-four second shot clock to fourteen seconds after an offensive rebound instead of twenty-four seconds.

5. Replacing one sixty second timeout in each half with one twenty second timeout, limiting the number of timeouts to a maximum of two per team in the last two minutes of the fourth period.

6. Re-introducing the jump ball for all alternating possession situations, with the team winning the opening jump ball getting possession to start the fourth period, the team losing the opening jump ball getting possession to start the second and third periods, using a jump ball to start every extra period.



Since both NBA and Euroleague now have these rules, FIBA will change to them also. In addition to this, Euroleague is also about to expand into the UK, Japanese, Indonesian, and Filipino TV markets, and will soon add a British team to the competition..........

Lol so pathetic they want to be just like us. Just like their big brother the NBA. So cute.

To be honest, this should have been done a long time ago. Look at the NBA Development League, they develop players for the NBA and an easier way to do that is have an identical style of rules and play. FIBA/Euroleague are also development leagues for the NBA so it's obvious they should follow suit in this way of thinking.

Keep bringing over polished Europeans/guys who go back to get polished. Really enjoying Shved, Kirilenko, Pekovic, and Rubio right now.

More people in Europe watch the NBA than this "Euroleague". They watch their home grown stars in the NBA opposed to watching their scrubs star in the Euroleague.

PROVE that NBA games that air on several days tape delay, or at 2-4 am in the morning, being broadcast mostly on specialty channels - have higher ratings than Euroleague games airing LIVE, in MAJOR time slots on FRIDAY, during PRIME TIME, on MAJOR sports networks.
