NFHS - Whats the rush?

[Larks]

Curious - does anyone here really think the average varsity game w/ 8 min qtrs takes too long? I keep seeing a reccurring theme relative to rule changes that focus on speeding the game up. Yet they will let HS baseball and football games drag over 3 hours.

If you get the ball in play and not screw around, how are you not showered, in the car and moving about 1:30 after tip? Sometimes games take longer....sometimes games take less. Do you really think milking another minute a game by adding warnings.....which take more time...really helps?

What is the goal time wise that they want?

If we are so worried about time

Why a 20 min warm up? Why not go to 15?

Why introduce the teams, the benches, the cheerleaders and the school plummers AFTER the 20 min warm up??? After the warmup - we should intro starters, play the Anthem and toss period.

Why play 4 Qs when you would go to 2 - 16 min halves and save at least 5 min a game.

If we are so worried about time, put 50 up there and let it run. When it's over, it's over.
