2012 Men's Olympic Rules

[CAREY33]

Can anyone provide me with a link to the rules that will be used for the 2012 Men's Olympics? I cant seem to find one. Will they be using the same rules that were in place for the 2010 FIBA World tournament? Thanks.

Thanks but I was asking more for the rules. Time, fouls, court dimensions, etc. Do the Olympics basically go by the same FIBA rules as other events?

Yeah, I saw that. says it was last updated in 2010 though.

because those rules are still in effect. no changes since then. these are the most up to date rules. if rule changes occur then the book will be updated accordingly.

2010 rules or the rules that take effect in October of 2012? There are 2 rule books.
