Have you seen europe basketball, did you liked?

However, they actually call things like traveling in the NCAA, unlike the NBA.

That`s true.

Btw does the backcourt violation exist on NCAA?
I recently watched a matched and i think I saw someone breaking that rule, but there was no whistle.

I havent seen europe basketball. I'm not a 'huge' basketball fan in general.

What I can say is, clearly europe basketball is pretty good based on how they play in Int'l competitions now.

Vilpu: Far as I know, there is no backcourt rule. I'll have to look it up though.

Well europe basketball is much slower than NBA, and most important thing is team work and defence, not like NBA - run, jump, shoot :) But its fun too watch NBA game, lot of action ;)

yeah, they work on the things in Europe that win you tournaments. Imagine that ;)

The NBA has devolved into two play basketball,the pick and roll and the isolation play.It is stultifying to watch.The NCAA games tend to really slow down at the end and become free throw shooting matches,but that's not really the shot clock's fault,blame the one and one rule.European/Olympic style baskeball is more of a purists game, but the wider lane really deempahasizes inside play so it becomes a little too much of a jump shooting contest for my tastes.The backcourt violation exists at all levels.But NCAA refereeing can be even worse than NBA reffing so that might be one they missed.
