League Rules

The International Basketball League (IBL) is a professional men's basketball league based in Vancouver, Wash., with a spring summer season engaging high level basketball talent. The league is dedicated to fostering international basketball talent and focuses on providing family friendly events as well as moving players to the next level in their careers in international and domestic leagues such as the D League (NBDL), Basketball Japan League (BJL), Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), Basketball Bundesliga (BBL), and the Portuguese Basketball League (LCB). The IBL is in its eighth year of operation with teams across the United States and Canada.

With the new IBL Rule Book consisting of an NBA rule base with IBL variations such as our 22 second shot clock and adopted FIBA rules including allowing hitting or touching the ball once the ball touches the rim, all Officials, Score Table, Coaches and Players are prepared for competition. Ike Durham, Director of Officials, seen in the photo above (middle) is leading our Team Officials for successful IBL Season.
