Iowa Girls Experimentation with two halves

I hope this is one step from changing it for all games. 2 less last second shots and 2 less timeouts, what's not to like?

I believe this is exactly what the Iowa Girls are doing as well. Non-conference games, both coaches need to agree to it. I would be willing to bet that not one single varsity game I officiate this year will be played with the 16 minute halves option. Personally, I would prefer two halves instead of four quarters. Seems to work well for the college game and I think eliminating two breaks in the action would be a positive thing.
