Chuck -- I remember the NCAA experiment now. You're right, it was a disaster trying to determine if there was team control when the ball was tied up.
At the NCAA level, they should just go back to the jump ball. Even varsity boys wouldn't be a big deal jumping every held ball. At lower levels and for varsity girls it would be a disaster.
As far as other changes I would make -- I would eliminate quarters and play 16:00 halves. I know some states already do that. I would also eliminate the coach-calling-timeouts, but that's been mentioned already.
I didn't watch much of the tournament. I'm not eligible for postseason since I just moved here (and I won't be eligible for at least 3 more years).
