Dear Dr. Allens

I received your letter and the bulletin telling of the coaching school
in which you are taking part. Thanks so much for the information, I
am thinking very seriously of attending that school as I have always
admired your technique of basketball and have read your "My Basketball
Bible" and liked it very much and hope to read the new one when it
comes out. I hope that you can get it out before the season begins
next year.

EI would like to mect you if I do get to attend the school sometime if
you are not too rushed for time. This coming year will be my first year
+o coach in college. I am here in school working of8 my master’s in
physics, Iwill be coaching and teaching in a small schooh in Tennessee
next year, My alma mater, That is the main; reason why I am so very
anxious to attend a fecognized coaching school this summer--to get some
useful information for the coming year. I have two years experience
with high school basketball ami liked it véry much,

If I by any chance éo go to Spirit Lake in August , I will like to talk
+o you about your new book and woubd like to hear from you sometime
before then if you are not too rushed in your work and I would like for
you to tell me two pp three good Books that I could buy that are the —
best for a beginning coach, Such infommation will be certainly appreciated.
Thank you so very much for your letter and I remain
Yours very truly,

Floyd Bowling .
