At my highschool we have about a  25 game season, 10 or so non-district games and 14 district games, one home & one away versus each team, then playoffs after that.....\n\nI'm from Texas and play 5-a, the biggest classification

I think each quarter is only fifteen minutes. But when during the quarter many timeouts are called, stopped plays, fouls, ect, make each quarter seem much longer. I am reasonably sure it is fifteen minutes, but it may only apply to highschool football games, as those are what I watched the most as my boys played during their highschool years. :-) I do think fifteen minutes applies to Pro games too though.

Per night or per game?  Where I come from, it is 24 actual playing minutes per game--four periods of 6 minutes each.  There are usually no more than two games per night.

peopl play basketball becuase it is a sport that not every body is good at also becuase it is a sport that needs hand eye cordination so people with those type of skills also enjoy basketball. I also i like playing basketball because no matter what state you are in basketball is a popular sport?

Yes there is.  Depending on how many teams in your league make the playoffs it'll start with two or three weeks left in the NBA's regular season.

why are there 4 quarters in basketball & football, and 3 periods in hockey. Why is it a period and not a quarter. Is it because you need 4 quarters to make a whole?

Usually you split it into two divisions with four in each division. Each team plays the other seven teams once or twice (that's good for 7 or 14 weeks) then you start a playoffs. 1st plays 4th, 2nd plays 3rd in both divisions. Then you have a divisional final and then a championship final. You should have consolation rounds as well for the teams that lose out in the first round of the playoffs.

maybe adding 3 or 4 play-in games would be ok\nother than that, no, the bball season lasts too long already\n128 teams wouldn't fit on a bracket page anyway

As far as the All-Star break being in the "middle" of the season, I have no idea. But the NBA plays an 82-game regular season, so the halfway point would be 41.

Well, they are usually 2 and a half hours long, but the actual game time is way less than that. They have commercials and when calls are made, time isn't taken off the clock, such as fouls. I think the actual time for all 4 quarters is 48 minutes, 12 each. But in halftime, it takes a while too, so it all adds up to around 2 and a half hours long. And foul shots don't take time off the clock either.

Training camp and pre-season games are held in September.  The regular season usually starts in the first or second week of October and ends in early to mid April.  The playoffs can last through mid to late June.
