Part of the problem we're discussing lies with the running clock. Too many whistles leads to far fewer possessions, really messing up the player rotations and substitution strategy to get everyone meaningful time on the floor. On the other hand, loosening up the whistle almost always leads to sloppier play overall.

As a coach, I'd prefer the games called no differently than regular season, so the kids don't develop bad habits such as overagressive and sloppy play that a loose whistle invites. The problem of balancing out play-time is better than wasting an opportunity to play with sound habits.

Any chance on compromising with a stop clock and fewer minutes per half?
