I'd be thrilled to go to halves.
Give each team 5 timeouts as now. 1 60, 4 30s. First stoppage after 8:00 (16 minute halves) or 9:00 (18 minute halves) in each half becomes an uncharged 60 second timeout.
Things wouldn't change much, but we'd eliminate 2 last second shots, which is the best reason to go to halves, as far as I'm concerned.
