I'm late but I'll bite..
Earlier someone questioned the length of the game before alternating possessions came into vogue.
Well, I agree, let's go back to tossing on all held balls.
Now, I'd also like to see the fouls move from 7 for 1 and 1 to 10 for 1 and 1 and then 12 for the double bonus.
I have worked many AAU tourneys and they regularily use this setup and it works really well. The games go much quicker with the bonus moved to 10 team fouls per half.
As for the coaches, force them back to the bench and let them sit like the rest of the team. As much as I hate the coaches box and failure by most of us to inforce it consistently across the board, the only way to solve the coach that is in your ear, but yet in the coaches box, is to have him take a seat like the rest of the spectators.
Ohh, move to halves. Nix the quarters and this will also speed the game up a little.
