I just thought I'd point out that there is no such thing as a '30-second timeout' in the NBA. The short timeouts are 20 seconds long.

From what I gather, no things are different unless there is a specific reason, and I really struggle to see why the short timeouts should be 10 seconds longer.

Thanks for letting me know all the same

after all, what does it matter???

I'd even sugest having 10 second time outs and 20 second time outs.
I hate the wait when a time out is called. ;)

Interesting. Now that this is established, is there a reason why I didn't get foul shots in a penalty situation after an offensive foul by the opposition? I though this meant 2 shots under NBA rules (though not under FIBA rules).

Offensive fouls don't lead to free throws in the NBA. (They also don't count as team fouls.)

Upon a brief consultation with the rules, you're right. My bad.
