Sorry, I was going on the 4 30s and 1 60 scenario; that's probably media. I was speculating anyway. If I cared more, I'd probably take the time to find out.

When Summer breaks out and everybody and his dog is putting on a camp, the first question you have to ask when you arrive on site is, "What are the camp rules?". In my experience, the most frequently altered rules involve: time outs, length of periods, and when to stop the clock. IOW, when left to their own devices just about every human on the planet will change the time out and timing rules to suit their own tastes. In reality, we should be more surprised that the NFHS and NCAA time out rules aren't more different than they are.

College gets 120 seconds extra timeout time but they lose 120 seconds of time as there is no break after the 1st and 3rd quarters. So basically teams get to go to their bench and talk for the exact same amount of time.
