I was just reading an item in a recent Sports Illustrated that refered
to something called the International Basketball Association.  Apparently
it is some Canadian-American league that is trying to get going and
intends to include the following rules:

1) No players taller than 6'4"
2) No fouling out
3) 4 points for a shot from midcourt

Can this possibly be for real?  My first reaction was to check the
cover date of the magazine.  No, it wasn't April 1.

Has anyone heard anything about this league?  Can it possibly succeed?
