    And college basketball is slightly different than professional - length of game, not 4 quarters, even on the size of the key, and you don't hear college coaches clamoring to be more like the pros... college coaches must understand that college is not the triple A affiliate for the pros.
    So what. It covers two semesters.

      Stop comparing with basketball - the two sports are very different and it's not just because of finances. The timing for basketball goes through two semesters (early Nov to early March including basically giving up your holidays for games), but the total length of time is only one month longer than soccer with a lot more games. A typical D1 basketball team has already played 15-17 games already (which is an entire soccer season) and the season isn't over until early March. They will have a season total of 30-ish games, give or take, not including post season. Give soccer the chance to spread their 16 game season across two semesters, you don't think basketball would like to spread out their season too?

        Sometimes we can really get myopic about soccer. As we focus so intensely on how we might squeeze more juice out of the orange, we must, I guess, forget that far above our heads there is a thing called the sky, and found in that sky are these gray, massive things called clouds. From these clouds fall these little white flakes that some call snow. In the months of January, February, and even March (about 3/4 of the spring term) these flakes have been know to pile up on the ground, including soccer fields in places like New England and the upper Mid-West. When the flakes are pushed together they can form small balls, and when those small balls are rolled around, they form larger balls, which become increasingly more difficult to move. Some people then stop attempting to move them and simply stack them on top of one another, and when they're finished they put a hat atop them and give their production a name.
