RichMSN,
I think I've got one that tops your game

My school hosted a Varsity girls tournament during the first week (here 11/29-12/1).Game 2 of the second day is a semi-final to decide who will play for fifth place.In this game we had 47 fouls and approximately 20 held-ball situations (I believe the tally was 17).We also had 1 player technical,each team received a delay of game warning for breaking the plane on an inbounds play,and another technical foul for breaking the plane after being warned.The coaches combined to use 7/10 possible time-outs and their teams combined to shoot 15/61 from the free-throw line.Your final score was 30-27 and the second half took about 1 hr 45 minutes

My goodness.

Worked a men's juco game (no media timeouts) on Monday night. No timeouts were called in the first half. The teams used 11 of the 12 timeouts they had in the second half and we went double bonus both ways fairly early in the half as neither team could figure out how to adjust to anything other than banging each other all over the place. My goodness, a 75-second timeout is a long, long time.

I'm looking forward to the game where we call about 15 fouls total for the night and find some flow to the play.

Rich,
You would've loved my varsity girls game last night.I don't think there were even 10 fouls total called! Also how do the timeouts in juco work (hs only guy here!)

Non-media college games have 4 75-second timeouts and 2 30-second timeouts per team. They can *all* carry to the second half. Media games have 1 60-second timeout and 4 30-second timeouts per team and only 3 30-second timeouts per team can be carried to the second half.

I'd rather do media timeouts, to be honest. At least those are spread evenly through the game.
