Sometimes when officiating small schools without depth, the middle of the first half often gets very disjointed. Kids could use the break but coaches seem wary of using their timeouts for this reason.

One of the reasons behind NCAAW's switch to quarters was to fall in line with the way the game is played at all other levels of the sport. NCAAM is now the only code that plays halves.

As for the "game that's 4 minutes longer" thing... it's already 4 minutes longer in MN, so that doesn't really make a difference to me. |

HS games are agonizing enough at 32 minutes, I definitely have no desire to add an extra 4 minutes to it.

Are you saying you want to take away playing time from those fourth string girls riding the end of the bench?? How dare you!

Here in Oregon, they have a solution for that....the 5th quarter. Some Freshman or JV games are scheduled with a 5th quarter.. It is played 1st and isn't played by the usual starters/subs. It isn't included in the game score. It gives those less skilled players chances to get on the court and play a while....and the officials get 25% more than a 4 quarter assignment.

The idea is good in theory, but it's not good in practicality/actuality. Personally, I like what our local CYO league does for its JV level program (grades 4-6):
