HICKOX, SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE SECRETARY-TREASURER December 9, 1939. Dear Coach: YOUR National Association of Basketball Coaches of the United States INVITES your membership and your help in furthering the aims of this group. The great game of basketball is growing constantly and this is your opportunity to have a part in formu- lating the program for the sport. Many of you have felt in the past that the annual membership dues of Five Dollars ($5.00) were out of proportion to the benefits to be gained. This was especially true of members who found it impossible to attend the annual convention. In an attempt to gain a greater representation of coaches and a more mutual interest in the activities of the Assocta- tion, these annual dues have been reduced to TWO DOLLARS ($2.00). For those attending the con- vention, an additional fee of $3.00 will be charged, However, the group feels that the new Two Dollar fee will encourage the membership of practically every college coach in the United States and that these new members will profit by their membership as will the Association gain through the broader view gained through such a large membership. There are three types of membership in the Associa~ tion, These are the HO Y, the ALLIED, and the ACTIVE memberships. Formerly, only coaches in schools holding membership in the N. C. A, A, could be active members, At the last convention this ruling was changed so that "coaches from instituions which offer a four year baccalaureate degree and who are actively engaged in the profession of basket- ball coaching shall be eligible for ACTIVE MEMBER- SHIP", Other coaches in junior colleges, high schools, and preparatory schools are eligible for the ALLIED MEMBERSHIP. The ACTIVE TYPE OF MEMBERSHIP allows voting privi- leges to the coach; the ALLIED member has the privi- lege of the floor but not of voting.
