[marler1972]

Far to many timeouts in basketball!!!!!!!!

Timeout!!! Let's talk about this for a minute, lol.

[ExScoop]

They are always longer than the 1-minute that they are supposed to be

They set the clock at 60 seconds but some officials are lax and they are longer

[coach]

There is just as many in football and football timeouts are longer. And basketball has a choice of 30 sec timeouts lol

[Matthew328]

football has six per game..hoops has five

[Saggy Aggie]

football has six per game..hoops has five but it just seems like both teams on basketball wait til the last minute to call all their to's and the final 60 seconds of regulation takes like 15 minutes with timeouts, fouls, free throws etc.

[Matthew328]

Thats just the nature of the game I guess..basketball games are still much shorter than football games
