Rule change time again

I'm not offended by #20. It's a situation that rarely happens and when it does it would be nice to not have to call four fouls in a row to get to the bonus.

I don't mind playing halves, but someone tell me why 18 minutes and not 16? To me, it's adding a mandated overtime period to every game and I guarantee that the schools will cut the same checks I signed my contracts for and they will not add an additional 12.5% to the game fee. Not that money is a huge factor to me, but the schools never "do the right thing" in this area.

I would change the timeouts to 2 60-second timeouts and 3 30-second timeouts, but nobody has ever asked me.

Rich, changing the playing time is not part of this proposal. The 18 minute halves are unique to Minnesota, as far as I know. (I agree with you about the extra playing time, I'm against it.)
