If I could change one rule, it would be....

1) Drop 30s and fulls and go with five 45s

2) Go to two 16-min halves

I like both of those but I think two 18 minutes halves such as what Minnesota does might be better.

Are they going to raise our game fees 12.5%?

I ref FIBA so its a different kettle of fish. The rules I would like to see go on our side are the rules we have for some things that are automatically unsportsmanlike. I would prefer the discretion to call it when the intent was to make a non basketball play or an excessively physical one.

These would include:

- Automatic unsportsmanlike on any foul will the ball is at the disposal of the inbounder but has not yet entered the playing area during the last 2 minutes.
-Automatic unsportsmanlike on any foul from the side or behind when the there are no other defenders back between the rim and ball (clear path).

Don't you mean 6.25%? There would be two minutes gone that now exists between the 1st & 2nd qtr and the 3rd & 4th qtr.

Nope, those aren't working times. Just a simple 36:32 calculation for me. I'm willing to bet we'd get paid exactly the same and we'd be told to pound sand.

I don't get why everyone wants to add playing time. Just do 2 16-minute halves and give each team an extra 30 second timeout. Easy enough.

It's what we play in our state....it's great. Two less times that you have to deal with end of quarter, dead ball/bench personnel T's and A/P throw-in situations.
