ART. 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.

I'd be in favor of a 4 second game, providing one of the teams could hit a shot within those 4 seconds.
