I never knew it was a problem. The proposal came from the Mass. basketball coaches assn. but it has not gotten any traction. The only thing I can figure is that Mass. used to play 16-minute halves with five 60-second timeouts per game. When we switched to 8-minute quarters four years ago, the timeouts were changed to match the NFHS rule.

Not really related to the timeout issue, but is the state still requiring officials to stick around for the post-game handshake?
