Have worked in Minnesota for the past 10 years. We went to 18 minute halves a few years ago and I enjoy it. It was different the first year but once everybody got used to it, it seems to work well. It caused games to have a greater flow.

I would like to see them give teams a 15 minute warm up instead of 20. Kids are loose and don't need 20 minutes to warm up. Officials don't need to be on the court until 10 minutes left. Have your meeting at 7 minutes and go from there.

I think they should go back to the rule where time outs can only be called from the players during a live ball. Would make things much easier.

So you would want only players, not officials, to be able to call timeouts?

A1 was calling for a time-out and Rich granted it. Same difference, huh?

I can. It's automatic.

That's a local level issue as it is not mandated by NFHS that players warm up for 20 minutes.

i hate having to turn around to see who is calling a time out. if i am watching the coach, who is watching the players?

During a live ball, only players can request a time out.
