Dear Mr. Allen:

I received your letter together with a copy

of the letter you had sent to the President

of the Basketball Coaches concerning some
suggestions on changes. I was gled to get

this information and feel there is considerable
merit in a number of the things you had to
suggest. I will be gléed to have en opportunity
to talk these things over April 14 and 15.

There wes one suggestions that was made by

our basketbell coech, Mr. Friel, which I think
hes some merit in that it would eliminate some
of the crowding under the basket and would,

no doubt, eliminate the zone defense. His
suggestion is to compel one forward and one
guard to remain in the back court. This also
would open the way for a quick break game. As
a matter of fact, it would seem to me it would
open the game up and would do awey with a lot
of the confusion and fouling under the besket.

With kindest regards, I am

Very sincerely yours,

    
   

OF WASHINGTON

Directér of Physical Educetion
