Method to help hoops’ endgame

READER Scott Scovin on how to cure college basketball from its modern, late-game excesses that regularly feature 15-20 minutes to play the last two minutes of close, or somewhat close games:

1) Each team, no matter how many timeouts left, is allowed only one in the last two minutes of regulation and overtime.

(I like this, as TV commercials breaks are more likely to air with 2-5 minutes left rather than be annoyingly stacked and bunched within the final 60 seconds.)

2) Each team is allowed just one video replay challenge per game. That’s it, regardless of whether the challenge results in a reversal, just one.

(Like this, too, though I’d add that the refs, on buzzer beaters that determine the winner or OT, would be allowed to review the shot to determine if it beat the buzzer.)

Chris Moore, WFAN weekend afternoons host, remains an engaging, thoughtful, informed, modest and often clever listen. Yet WFAN, for years, has kept him on the JV.

New Mets manager Mickey Callaway’s stated practical approach to relief pitching — no designated innings — sounds great. But how will he prevent $110 million man Yoenis Cespedes from sustaining his careerlong habit of posing doubles into singles and his indifferent outfield play, including casual one-handed drops and jogging after balls rolling toward the wall?

Odd, two, three months ago MSG’s Knicks and Rangers telecasts were stuffed with DraftKings promos and signage. Now? Did The Garden learn an easy lesson the hard way?
