These coaches overreach every possession down the stretch. They never call time-outs all game and then decide to call one every possession final few minutes. Let the kids play.

Its miserable. I don't even know why the Texas coach calls time-outs. He hasn't drawn up a good play all game

Get rid of reviews or make teams use timeouts for challenges like nba

OT ought to be 4 minutes.

No new time-outs

I would also like to see the double bonus eliminated. The thought was a guaranteed 2 shots instead of 1+1 would cut down on end of game fouls; it didn't.

The end of a basketball game is so slow. They definitely need to do something to speed it up

Going to 4 quarters will help a whole lot with that. Reset fouls after the end of the 1st and 3rd quarters.

Men's college basketball is the only version of basketball on the planet that doesnt play quarters.

I’ve wondered about why that is the case. Women’s basketball is in quarters.

1. Fouls in the backcourt are 2 shots and the ball for the opposing team. That would eliminate the long end game extensions.

2. No reviews unless there is a coaches challenge. One challenge per half.

3. Lane violations on free throws are automatic point for opposing team.

4. Falling down without contact is a flagrant 1 foul. 2 shots and the ball for the opposing team.

5. Complaining to the ref is a flagrant 1. 2 shots and the ball to the opposing team.

6. I have lots more.

100% agree. There are a total of 18 timeouts in a regular game. 5 for each team and 4 TV timeouts per half.

Ned to cut it down to 3 TV timeouts per half and 4 TO's each per team
