[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 132378914, member: 1467482"] Halves instead of quarters means nothing. If anything it eliminates a few more random heaves from full and half court with halves vs quarters. The only thing that is bizarre about it is that the women’s and men’s games differ here despite both being under the same governing body. Reffing will always be terrible in a sport where most of the calls are split second and subjective. The coaches are probably the most over marketed aspect of the game, the least you can do is have them make some decisions since the people are paying to get into the gym to watch the coaches coach. IMO the NCAA Tournament is the best and worst way to end this thing. You get neat storylines, but FDU beating Purdue is just a crap product. You end a 30+ game season with putting a team who had a great season in a high nerves scenario against a team who objectively sucks and doesn’t belong and tell them “don’t get ambushed!” It’s not gonna change because it’s appeal to casuals, but the NCAA tournament is mostly crap basketball where narratives are more important than the sport.
