Women's basketball: New rule changes for 2015-16

New in NCAA Division I women’s basketball games:

* 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 (five fouls, quarter), a common foul will result in two free throws (no more one-and-one 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.
