Art Schabinger of Creighton admitted confidentially he was the two best coaches in the world. The recipients
of this confession were Lew Andreas, the Syracuse Bearcat, and Ed. Kelleher, the Fordham Flash.

The theme of the New York meeting was to help officials help themselves. Coaches meetings with proper inter-
pretations and selections, and development of the proper men as officials were stressed.

COACHES CODE

George Edwards of Missouri University is the author of the following Code. It was adopted by the Association
at the Chicago meeting of 1932.

I believe that basketball has an important place in the general educational scheme and pledge myself to co-
operate with others in the field of education to so administer it that its value never will be questioned.

I believe that other coaches of this sport are as earnest in its protection as I am, and I will do all in my power to
further their endeavors.

I believe that my own actions should be so regulated at all times that I will be a credit to the profession.

I believe that the members of the National Basket Ball Rules Committee are capably expressing the rules of the
game, and I will abide by these rules in both spirit and letter.

I believe in the exercise of all the patience, tolerance, and diplomacy at my command in my relations with all
players, co-workers, game officials, and spectators.

I believe that the proper administration of this sport offers an effective laboratory method to develop, in its
adherents, high ideals of sportsmanship, qualities of cooperation, courage, unselfishness and self-control, desires for
clean, healthful living, and respect for wise discipline and authority.

I believe that these admirable characteristics, properly instilled by me through teaching and demonstration,
will have a long carryover and will aid each one connected with the sport to become a better citizen.

I believe in and will support all reasonable moves to improve athletic conditions, to provide for adequate equip-
ment, and to promote the welfare of an increased number of participants.
