In the grand scheme of things, is an extra minute between the 1st and 2nd and 3rd and 4th really that big of a deal?
Speaking of speaking up the game, I do enjoy FIBA's rule for the penalty. Fouls reset after each quarter, 2 shot penalty on the 5th foul- makes for a smoother game than FED.
Also, in FIBA if you are entitled to a back court throw in in the last 2 mins of the 4th or OT and you call a time out, than you get the ball at the throw in line in your front court.

You'll never get the people in this forum to agree to those rules changes...why you ask? Cause it'd be too much like the NBA.
I do think we'll see the timeout rule happen at some point. I also wouldn't mind experimenting with resetting the penalty count each quarter.
