I don't understand why some people feel so strongly about the halves/quarters argument. I guess it would make the game quicker, so officials don't have to stick around so long. But would it make that big a difference? I mean, it's like the new pace of play rules in MLB, which are shaving maybe 10 to 15 minutes off of a three hour game. Frankly, is it worth the headache? I don't think so.
But if halves were adopted country-wide, then there should be a couple more time outs added for teams. You shouldn't just take away two one minute breaks (the ones between quarters). Even if you give teams a couple extra 30-second TOs instead of full ones.
Heck, I know in some fast-paced games I appreciate the breaks.
