10. The committee recommends tht the chairman of the Research ami Rules Committee
of the National Basketball issociation work with the questimnaire chairman of
the National Basketball Committee in every way to mike it posable for the two
groups to compare the results of the questionnaire bearing the opinions of the
college coaches.

11. The fincings of the questionnaire of tho National Basketball Coaches Association
should be tabulated by districts and a copy of the final report te placed in the
hands of each N,° 44, representative prior to the meeting of the National Bas»
ketball Committee.

12, Members of the National Basketball Committee should be extended the invitation
of attending the meetings of the National Basketball Corches Association con-
_ vention sessions each year.

13. The Notional Basketball Coaches Associntion should learn from the National
Collegiate Athletic Association just how the N.C,4,4, representatives to the
National Basketball Committee are selected. Since they are the sppport of the
college game of basketball, our association should mve the privilege of nom-

14. Since the National Collegiate Athletic Association has inticated that the asso-
' elation has the right of appeal to that body regarding the conduct of the
college game of basketball, WE SHOULD EXERCISE THIS RIGHT IN OUR PRESENT CON~
TROVERSY REGAR- ING THE BALL AND BANKBOARD.

Although the vote of the N.C.A.A. representatives to the National Basketball Com-
mittee on the mutter of the stitched basketball and the rectangular board as the
only legal equipment was five favoring our proposal and two opposing our recommenda-
tion, we lost both proposals since the remainder of the vote solidly opposed it.

DO WE NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPEAL TO OUR PARENT BODY IN THIS SITUATION WEERE TUE
MAJORITY HAVE INDICATED THEIR DESIRES?

15. The committee feels that the practice of sending representatives to present our
recommendations to the National Rules Committee is a splendid practice. The
comatttee feels that a committee of three from our organization would constitute
a fairer practice than that of sending an individual.

16. The parent bodies of the various representatives to the National Basketball Come.
mittee should determine accurately the function of these representatives indi-
vidurlly and collectively. ’
