As an old timer, I remember attending games in the early 1920's and it's always been halves

Hate to see the change

I hate to ask, but I am within a month of being 83 and I have a fairly good memory from my early days which started around 1950. I am and never have been good at math (other than figuring interest), but I hope (1920) was a typo!!šŸ˜

Another thing I would change (though it has no bearing on " time") would be stopping coaches being able to use review time as a coaching time out. Have the teams stay at a corner totally away from their coaching sideline area. The same after a player fouls out. Coach has no right to take advanage of a mistake by one of his players. Just talk to the guy replacing the foul outer and move on quickly.

Well, with the reviews turning into TV timeouts it would be hard to make the teams stand away from the coaches for 3-4 minutes, but your point is valid. Lessening the amount of these momentum killing reviews is the only real answer, and while it sounds like a great idea wait until you hear the screaming when one missed call that isn't reviewed decides a big game.

Actually, the best answer would be fixing what @hUTch2002 alluded to, the hideous quality of officiating overall. But I don't believe that the leagues care enough to make that commitment, and the coaches all keep saying that SEC officials are the best in the country. The truth is that as long as people keep spending money and discussing college football and basketball year round, the powers that be will be happy.

Just for saving time low hanging fruit for me is eliminating any entry into the lane or circle at the completion of the first of a two shot foul. Donā€™t need high fives and low fives for any reason. Want to leave lane position while the ref has the ball, go for it, but nothing that slows return of the ball to the shooter. Too many team meetings there now. Simply a lane violation if you do and costs you a free throw or gives the guy the redo. Even subs can stay out of lane on entry and exit.

On bonus attempts, must leave lane and return to A legal position quickly without physical interaction with other players. No mini huddles. Pointing and talking allowed.

Maybe itā€™s just me, but I find the FT shooter always getting the low/high 5s after EVERY attempt cringey. Was it Bone that would do it with air when his teammates were back on defense instead of on the lane?

You make it that far in life and I'm of the opinion you're allowed to be unreasonably stubborn about select things. He's earned it.

I donā€™t disagree, but thereā€™s consequences like not being included in family texts that include pictures of grandkids or information about whatā€™s going on with their extended families. Thereā€™s often a price to be paid for not adapting to the changing ways the world communicates. Texting has been happening for over 20 years now so those stubborn 80+ year olds were in their 60ā€™s when they decided to reject texting.

I see that, but those options didn't exist before and he did just fine I assume. We (assuming we're close to same age-ish) grew up and developed with technology and it's normal for us to text grandparents, parents, etc daily with doses of our cute kiddos. That just wasn't a thing except at special events (graduations, birthdays, holidays perhaps). They don't require the constant updates like we grew up with and they love us regardless of that lack of adaptation.

Edited to add a quote I heard a while back but rings very true. "We used to have to know where someone was to call them, now we have to call people to know where they are." The world pre-2000 was just different as far as communication and instant gratification. Those generations are dying off but still around (don't mean that to sound harsh) and I don't believe they will fully adapt before they go, nor do I really want them to.

They may not require ā€œconstant updatesā€, but every time i physically see them they ask to look at the pictures and updates on my phone. Just my experience and may not reflect others.

I think it's an "out of sight, out of mind" type of thing. They're used to carrying photos in their wallets or purses to show at the next get together, they're just not thinking about those things away from the event that spurs the action.

And I completely see your point of view and have had many similar experiences with one side of my family. Not knocking it at all.

Didnā€™t want to start a new thread for this, and I guess it could count as rule changes, Tennessee preemptively making some law changes at the state level to get ahead of house settlement stuff.
