Wonder why men's college basketball does not play 4 quarters and do you wish it would change
Mens college basketball plays 2 halfs

I’m sure it will, to get more commercials in and make more money.
They tested out 4 quarters in the NIT tournament last year or the year before, IIRC.
I think four quarters would be better.
I like it the way it is but it's not that big a deal. Just hope they don't go to 24 sec clock. If I wanted to watch strictly one on one BB then I would watch NBA (which I never do).
I would like to see college basketball adopt:
1). Four 10-minute quarters with one media timeout around the 5-minute mark of each quarter.
2). One 30-second team time-out per quarter, called by player or coach.
3). Widen the free throw lane from 12' wide to 16' wide to open up the court like the pros, but the refs have to be encouraged to call 3-second violations!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
4) Weird idea???, go to three fouls (all types) per half for each player??? If player gets 3rd foul they have to sit rest of that half.

One free throw. Counts for 2 pts for common or shooting foul. Counts for 3 pts if fouled on a 3ptr and one point for an "and one"
Four quarters, bring back the jump ball, go to 6 fouls and have a dedicated ref for reviews.
Change the 10-second rule to cross half court to 8-seconds. Could advance the speed of the game, put more time for the offense in the front court, possibly more pressing(?) by the defense.
- 4 quarters
- Give each coach 1 review/protest per half, get another if both overturned
- fix that rule that took away a basket and lost us possession
- leave fouls to 5 (NBA is 6 because games are 20% longer), make it 6 and they will just foul more
- no need to change jump balls, why reward taller team/player
- leave shot shot as is
- I don’t mind the change to 8sec to cross half court suggested above

It IS the only basketball level that doesn’t have them.
It’s the weirdest thing too.
College basketball from the mid 80s through the late 90s was God’s perfect form of sports entertainment. Everyone who has ever tweaked that model for any reason is a back slider and a douche bag.
I love the 2 halfs. And the 30 second clock. The more they stay away from the NBA BS the BETTER!
It really doesn’t make much sense. High school plays 4 quarters and NBA plays 4 quarters. I wouldn’t mind college doing the same.
All he has to do is park one foot out of the paint and lift his other foot every couple of seconds.
Naismith's original rules were for two halves (albeit, each 15 min [not 20]).
Any other configuration is blasphemy.

It's unique and tradition, I think they should leave it alone. Change isn't always good or the right thing to do, but the shot clock was a good change because of cheater McDicknose Smith.
The game has too many time stoppages and long commercial breaks as it is. Going to quarters would provide an excuse to have even more.
So, no, I’m not a fan of that idea. Leave it the way it is.

Not really. You already have 4 TV timeouts each half. If you go to quarters, then you have 1 TV timeout per quarter and the quarter break, so you could have less stoppages per half, although I'm sure TV would make sure it was at least the same somehow, or least in # of minutes. The real benefit is that fouls reset after each quarter and you wouldn't have teams in the bonus and shooting FTs for long hauls. It's a no brainer to change it and there is a reason it is not done at any other level.
And 5-second, closely guarded rule. (the first rule to address Smith's four-corners stall ball)
4 Quarters is where it needs to go and give coaches 4 time outs total for the game. A media time out at 5 minute mark of each quarter. It would be the best for college basketball. The 4 time outs should be 2 for the first half you can use how you need both in 1 quarter or what ever. You lose them at half and get 2 more for 2nd half. That is all.
Shot clock of 24 seconds like pros, and 16 seconds on rebound or kicked ball call.
3 second rule needs to be adhered to and actually be called. Defense 3 seconds like in pros as well.
5 second rule should also be called along with carries on dribbling.
Block charge has been better this year so they are on a right track there. Refs should be held accountable (not during the game but before their next called game). If they are graded too low or have any bias calls due to home court then they have to sit for x amount of games. That would help with bias refs. No way Kansas / Duke would get the home cooking any more. 3 strike rule on bias calls. 3 strikes and the refs move down a division for 1 year. Imagine, ref calls a very bad game, causes the results (that game is immediately null) and the ref is moved down to division 2, division 3, naia and so forth. Refs (that are grading the highest in naia can be moved up and others that grade bad moved down through all divisions. A guy loses pay, loses his reputation the nonsense stops.

I LOVE the college basketball product as it currently is. I don't want to change it to be more like the NBA.
Also i think we go back to old aba call of over 7 fouls called you get 3 to make 2 free throws. Stops all the fouling by a team to players that have lesser free-throw percentage.
We see that already. If teams know it will be 1 and 1 from the get go, maybe they will play cleaner defense.
Yep. This is how they’ll do it even tho I’m in favor of 4Q to have fewer game stoppages for tv timeouts…just move them between quarters. But we all know they’ll keep the tv timeout commercials and just add more
The other solution is to go to picture-in-picture 10-15 sec commercials split screen and mute the announcers during the commercial w live play. Or banner ads during play like Soccer
I wish college b-ball would adopt the international rule on goaltending - - once the ball hits the rim, there is no offensive or defensive goaltending.
Disagree. The reason college games can drag on so long is that it is possible for teams to be in the bonus with 12 minutes left in the half. At least with quarters, the fouls would reset
