From Wikipedia: "Given that professional basketball games lasted forty-eight minutes, Biasone divided 2880 (the number of seconds in forty-eight minutes) by 120 (the total number of shots taken per game when each team attempted sixty shots) and arrived at a figure he considered optimal: one shot every 24 seconds. " But why not play 48 minutes games, with 12 minute quarters as the NBA does? SU vs. Wagner was a 60 minute football game, just like the Super Bowl. You want more scorng? That would do it- and coaches would have to play more players, which would be a good thing. I think rules should be standardized: FIBA, NBA, NCAA high school- we should all be playing the same game.
