RULE NO. 6—PUTTING BALL IN PLAY—LIVE/DEAD BALL

Section I—Start of Games/Periods and Others

EXCEPTION: In the last two minutes of each period or last two minutes of overtime, a reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for a substitution.

The game is consisted of 4 periods of 12 minutes. In the last two minutes of game, the game changes. Typically, this is where most spectators, players and coaches will remember most about the game. This is when intensity, anxiety and pressure are at its highest peak.

This is where the game needs to be slowed down in aspect to allow players and coaches to re-adjust their game plan and lineup. This is also where you will need be lenient on time when allowing substitutions in to the game. Lenient, but not to be abused.

I like to see this strategy used across the all levels of basketball.

Crew chief stuff!!
