Won’t this help us with foul trouble bc they do a reset on fouls.

One of our biggest advantages is stamina. Teams get worn out playing against us. The added breaks at the ends of Q1 and Q3 could take some if that advantage away, theoretically. But both teams would get the rest so our guys would be able to start each quarter refreshed as well. Hmmm …

the end of the game, when the referees take 5 minutes to review who the ball went out of bounds on every single time the clock stops has been removed so that was a bigger issue with what you brought up

I’m against it for this reason. Can’t let them get a breather. I’d play the game in one “whole” if we could!
I actually wish there was a rule where a player could only sub in once per game. If you were a starter, you could sub out, and sub back in, but that’s it. Once you’re done, you’re done.
Would make energy & foul management a much more important aspect of the game
Maybe we can get them to drop it to a 6 scholarship limit
They would have to change the TV timeouts if it went from Halves to Quarters.
Currently there is one TV timeout every 4 minutes, which won’t work with 10 minute quarters.
I don’t think the break thing between quarters would really make any difference with how many breaks are already taken with the current set up.
I also don’t know how substantial the foul difference is, unless they removed the bonus/double bonus and just went with free throws after 5 fouls in a quarter. It wouldn’t help with players fouling out.
I’m pretty sure the reason most want this is to reset team fouls and keep refs from sticking their beak into a game and altering the whole thing with tons of time left. Yes, we should all be for the change.

Yeah, resetting the bonus counter is one of the primary drivers. Having teams shooting free throws for the last 10-12 minutes of a game makes it unwatchable.

Another “Houston Rule”, much like no dunking the ball ? ? ? ? ?
going to happen, its additional breaks to run more commercials and get more money.
How does playing 4 quarters “reset the fouls”?
Is this about the one-and-ones,then the 2 shot fouls?
Yes, clear the team fouls at the end of every quarter. Like Texas HS basketball did.

Ha !!…… they will add TV time outs.
Need those advertising $$$ to pay the schools.
The no dunking rule was the Lew Alcindor rule, who changed his name to Kareem Abdul Jabbar. One of the most ridiculous rules in all of sports. They couldn’t change it fast enough.
