The NBA is the only pro league that does it. Think about it. 99% of the world plays 10 min quarters it was stupid to copy them in the first place.
What I mean is, decide whether you want 10 or 12 minute quarters on merit, not based on what other countries do. I couldn't give a toss what FIBA or the other countries do.
Okay I mean TV prefers 10 min quarters and I'm sure it would make things easier negotiating contracts with agents of imports used to getting paid x amount per 40 min game in Europe or NCAA players although not getting paid in that instance.
