Rule Changes for 2015-16 Season

[transfer2BGSU]

THREE (Thanks Hot-Blondes other half) new rules for women's games.

1. They're playing four 10-minute quarters instead of two 20-minute halves.

2. A team receives a two-shot bonus after its opponent commits five team fouls in each quarter. The number of team fouls would carry over if a game goes into overtime. Fouls reset at end of 1, 2 & 3 quarters.

3. Media timeouts in televised games would be limited to one per quarter and will take place at the first dead ball after the 5-minute mark. If a team calls a timeout before the 5-minute mark, it would count as the media stoppage.

Doesn't say anything about losing any TO's - so it sounds like they still have 4-30's and 1-60 second timeout.

My guess is the break time in-between the 1-2 and 3-4 quarters will be at least 2 minutes (maybe more) to allow for a third media time-out each half (so for those listening on the radio -we lose two media time-outs in a game - maybe a shorter half-time radio show and more ads to make-up for the two MTO's lost).

No more 1&1's. Always thought they should count the second free throw as a miss in the stats if you missed the front-end of the 1&1.

Shouldn't that be three rule changes with number 1 being...they're playing 4 qtrs now?
