My dear Phog:

The National Association of Intercollegiate Bas-
ketball will revive their basketball clinic usually held at
the time of the National Association meeting and the Intex

ational Basketball Championship Tournament. This was begun
just before the war and was gaining in popularity. Of course
war conditions made it impossible for the Association to carry
out its intended program. There was a good representation of
coaches from a number of states who made use of the 1943 tour-
nament as a clinic, and attended clinical sessions especially
arranged.

It has fallen upon me to help arrange the clinic for
1946. It occurred to me that in view of your interest in the
raising of baskets to twelve feet (12') that we might arrange
to put on a game and make clinical ‘observations. This letter
is for the purpose of asking if you have this equipment that
might easily be installed in the Auditorium and dismantled in
time for the regular championship games. I have in mind one
or two plans -- either having this clinical game in the after-
noon the latter part of the week after which it would be
possible to remove them and set the regular baskets before the
night's schedule. The other possibility would be to have the
game early on the night of the arawé finals or maybe the champion-
Ship finalg and make the change before the final game. In the
event this arrangement could be made and you would supervise
the clinical data to be compiled, I should like to know what
would be the estimated cost. It would not be our plan to bring
in any outside team for the demonstration, but to use two teams
that had been defeated in tournament play and would still be in
Kansas City. It is the plan to publicize the clinic nationally
and to invite coaches to come to Kansas City for a study of this
and other features of the clinic, as well as the play in the

tournament. és
