Four Periods, The Way That God Intended Basketball To Be Played ...
We use halves (sixteen minutes) for our private prep school games, and I prefer quarters. I like the guaranteed "time out" at the eight minute mark. It give me a chance to catch my breath, and to get in some "quiet time" to reflect on the previous eight minutes, and to plan to make any necessary adjustments for the subsequent eight minutes. I may also use that time to meet with my partner for a few seconds to discuss any significant situations that we may have had in the first eight minutes, and how we should handle them if we see any similar situations in the second eight minutes. The first intermission can be a kind of mini halftime conference.
Just my two cents. Of course, now that I'm an esteemed Forum member, my two cents is really worth about four cents. By the way, now that I'm an esteemed Forum member, just mention my name at any Starbucks and you can get a tall cup of coffee for about $1.75. It's true. Of course, it's a limited time offer (until their next price increase).
