NBA commissioner Adam Silver 'a fan' of 10-minute quarters
"As we get more involved in global basketball, the NBA is the only league that plays 48 minutes. And I would be -- I am -- a fan of four 10-minute quarters," Silver said during an afternoon appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show." "I'm not sure that many others are. Putting aside what it means for records and things like that, yeah, I think that a two-hour format for a game is more consistent with modern television habits."
I NEVER thought of that. That's a great idea. It would also lessen wear and tear on players.
