RULES: Games will feature four, 10-minute quarters, rather than two, 20-minute halves. A team will reach the bonus after five team fouls in each quarter. The fouls will reset each quarter. Once the team reaches the bonus (5 fouls, quarter), a common foul will result in two free throws (no more 1-and-1 in women s basketball). Only one standard media timeout exists in each quarter, and will occur at the 5:00 mark or under in each quarter, or whenever the first coach-called timeout of the quarter occurs. In the second half, the first called timeout will become an extra media timeout. When a timeout is charged to the offensive team in the final 59.9 seconds of the fourth quarter (and any overtimes), the team has the option to advance the throw-in spot (as long as no attempt to advance has occurred) to the 28-foot line in the front court on the scorer s table side. The 10-second count in the backcourt shall reset on all stoppages of the game clock except when the defense causes the ball to be out of bounds, the offense retains possession after a held ball, or there is a technical foul assessed to the offensive team.
