Brief of President _Chandler's Address.

1. Two criticesms of our organization by the Basketball Rule Committee!
a. The coaches are devoting too much emphasis to rules changes.
In answer to this charge Presidont Chandler thought this criticism unjustifiable,
if we, as coaches, do not show a vital interest in the rules, we can expect the
rules to stand still.
b. That we are neglecting other phases of the game, Therfore we ought to
consider such problems as a standardation: .
(1) More uniformed courts, backboards, lighting and equipment.
(2) More uniform elegibility rules.
(3) More uniform interpretation of rules.
(4) Tenure of office.
(5) Onoportunities for more individuals to participate.
(6) Proper regulations and sunervision of tournanents.
(7) Closer medical supervision.
(8) Research.
c. Synortsmanship:
(1) Encourage radio commentators and newspaper writers to curb blasts
on coaches, nlayers and officials.
(2) Encourage basketball education through demonstrations, newsnaver
articles and radio broadcasts.
(3) To cut comments by coeches regerding officials.
(4) To improve behavior of coach and players on bench,
(5) Socialization of players.
