To lessen criticism of the center Jump, to remedy the "ctant-
dwarf" situation at center, to make more fair and just the jump,
have all five men On & team take their turn at the center jump.

Several good reasons present themselves:

1. Rotation would de-emphasize elephant-itis of centers. Teans
would have five "players", instead of four and an "Eifle Tower,"

2e Less wearing on centers who even now are called upon to jump,

at center alone, after field goals only, approximately twenty times.
That is too many for one player, centers now are left with less en-+
ergy for playing. If rotation were adopted, they would have more,

is doné in foul+shooting, and ordinary jump balls.

4, Spreads the "work" of jumping.. Even when there
Jump ball after each goal, field and foul, the average number of
jomps which each player will have to meke is only 5 or 4. Approxi-~-

as were usea to calculate time saved,

5. The average size of two teams probably is more nearly equal

than is the size of the two opposing centers. HXCeptions, of course,
6. One team woulc not always control the tap-off.

Zone Rotation Notion is imerely complementary to the time-out

after goals idea, not inseparable from it. They can be combined,
but neec not necessarily be. Hach can be used incependently of the

other. But to me they belong together, both working toward the same

end, a better bail game for player and payer.
