Comnents, Contd, "There has been too much of the official who wants to -ls per year and certainly I understand sene >f the problems the Officials Committee is trying to solve. "As far as better relations between coaches and officials are concerned, I believe it would be a good plan to have some- thing in the rule book prohibiting coaches talking to officials before and after, even between halves of the gane. I think that a good portion of the criticism of officiating lies with the coaches. They know the rules and interpretations and should coach their men accordingly. "In conclusion, it is apparent that the following avenues are open to all those interested in pnisketball, whether the ind- ividual be an official, coach, spectator, or playcr: "1. The responsibility for the conduct of the syectators at a basketball zame should be shared cqually between the coaches, officials, spectators, and players. It is a local problem. Yo, All responsidlé..individuals are desirous of coxperating but as yet have not found a definite understanding of each other's problens.. "3, An increased number of meetings to discuss problems relative to basketball will naturally result in a better under- standing by all partics. "4, The enme should be coached and played according to the rule book. "5, We all represent a part in the responsibilities and oblizations of promoting the welfare of basketball, and therefore taking an inventory of our conduct will produce improved conditions. "Respectfully sudnitted, "Marshall J. Diebold Director of Athletics Carleton College Northfield, Minnesota."
