It’s a light news day around the Washington State Cougars, which means it’s as good of a moment as any to waste everyone’s time with a bunch of ideas that probably will never happen.

At its best, basketball is a beautiful, free-flowing game that highlights the grace and athleticism of its players with minimal interruptions in play. At its worst, it’s a slog marred by stoppages, anti-climax, and the best players seeing too little of the floor thanks to the outsized influence of game officials.
