FIBA 33 - basketball's 20/20?
Via BA, saw FIBA touting its new product, FIBA 33:
The rules of FIBA 33 are quite simple. A team consists of four players (three players are on the court and one is a substitute) and one coach.
The game is played on a half court, on one basket, in three periods of five minutes each. Most of the FIBA rules regarding scoring and fouling are valid.
The team scoring first 33 points or leading the game after the regular game time is the winner.
(I love how FIBA name it after themselves; somehow 'ICC 20/20' doesn't sound quite as strong.)
Is this a good idea? Who is FIBA's audience here; who do they envisage taking this up? Someone on this forum must know something.
