Rule change?

Not if you keep inbounding it into the back court. You get 10, plus 10, plus 10, etc. That's my point.

BTW - I can't believe that after all this time, we still have posters who continue to say that coaches "call" time outs.

I guess my work here has barely started.

Well, coaches do literally "call" "time-out" -- they just can't take time out.

They don't "call" it, they request it.

I would like to eliminate one timeout by playing 16 minute halves. I seems to work pretty good in the summer, I don't see why it couldn't work during the regular season.

In the sense that they loudly and verbally make known their desire to have a time out, they do literally "call" it. But coaches "call" a lot of things that have no effect in and of themselves.

Reduce the number of time-outs per team per game to three by eliminating 30 second time-outs.

Play the game in halves.

Eliminate the marked lane-space nearest the basket as the NCAA did this year.

Strike new interpretation #10.

Sit the coaches down. No more standing.

It's not the standing I mind, it's the speaking.
