5-5-3: A quarter(s) may be shortened in an emergency or at any time by
mutual agreement of the opposing coaches and referee. Playing time and number
of quarters for nonvarsity game quarters may be reduced by mutual agreement
of opposing coaches.

Beat me by mere minutes...It appears that we were thinking the same way at the same time.

That said, where do you fall on the last point from my post concerning the differentiation of quarters from extra-periods for the purposes of applying this rule?

Overtime is just an extension of the fourth quarter. The rule would still apply.

I strongly suspect this was done without agreement by opposing coaches (ESPECIALLY the sudden death nonsense)

Many MANY years ago she there used to be preliminary games at the University of Minnesota involving high school teams there would be an occasional sudden death overtime period. The reason for this was that at the time the Big 10 had a rule requiring the floor be cleared and ready for the college game 30 minutes prior to the tipoff of the college game. This was in the 50's by the way. Now with that practice being done it is no longer a problem. By the way these were varsity games.
