BASKETBALL COACHES CREED
National Associetion of Basketball Coaches

I BELIEVE that basketball has an important place in the general education scheme
and pledge myself to cooperate with others in the field of education to so admin-
ister it that its value never will be questioned.

IL BELIEVE that other coaches of this sport are as earnest in its protection as I
am, and I will do all in my powers 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 Basketball Rules Committee are capab-
ly 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 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 labor-
atory method to develop in its adherents high ideals of sportsmanship; qualities

of cooperation, courage, unselfishness and self-control; desires for clean, health-
ful 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 carry-over 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 equipment, and to promote the welfare of an increased
number of participants.
