Sure, why not? It should make games flow a little better and take a little less time. Though coaches will have to adjust to losing two "free timeouts" between quarters to make adjustments.

No, we don't need to make the games longer.

Some states already do it so we might as well make it legal. I don't think we'll be seeing one in TX for quite a while (if ever) so it won't really affect me.

Don't see a good reason for this...

No! This would lesson the severity of the penalty for a tech...not a good idea.

Yes! Teams seem to think they can stay in the huddle as long as they want.

I really like the idea, it would make the end of game more exciting. BUT this is going to be a nightmare... especially at the sub-varsity level. Table crew just won't be able to do it right and we're going to have to be constantly messing with the clock.

YES!! If the equipment is available we should use it. The whole point is to get the call right, especially in a game of this caliber.
