There was much discussion regarding the elimination
of the tip off play at center and the coaches association recom-
mended that various teams actually try out the no tip off rule
at center, playing regulation matched games and report back to the
coaches association at their meeting this next year. They will
then make their recommendation to the joint Committee.

It is thoroughly understood that the National Basket
Ball Coaches Association has not legislative power. It is purely
an advisory and cooperative one in its relationship with the Join
Basket Ball Rules Gommittee.
