these fiba refs have balls of steal

1pt up with 8secs left italy have a foul to give, so they give it. Unsportsmanlike foul called. 2FTs and the ball for the latvians. Qualification to the world cup at stake...

Thats the main difference between fiba refs and american league refs; fiba refs call it by the book from the jump to the final buzzer.

Listening to Steve Javie in the playoffs, the things he said, just illuminated the cowardly mamby pamby types the NBA looks for to run their games.

Sick call for Italy though. I must admit I don't get the unsportsmanlike foul in fiba ball... seems they just call it when they feel like it and turn a blind eye when they don't.
