CLEVELAND BOARD OF EDUCATION
June 25, 1940

fo: Members of the Executive Committee
NATIONAL BASKETBALL COMMITTES

At the Kansas City meeting, authority was voted the Executive Committee
to determine the time and place of the next meeting of the committee,

Before asking for your decision, it seemed best to secure the time and
place of the meeting of the National Basketball Coaches Association, as
well as thet of the National Collegiate Championship Tournament,

It now appears that the National Basketball Coaches Association will meet
at Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City on Monday and Tuesday, March 24-25,

fhe National Collegiate Basketball Championship is to be held on Saturday,
March 29, at Kansas City.

There is just one question which arises in regard to this meeting, and

that is - where can the meeting be held to the best advantage? In consider-
ing this, it would seem that we should also consider meeting at a time when
the meetings of the committee would be the matter of first importance and
would not be interfered with by meetings of other groups or by the tournament
itself, Personally, I cannot help but feel that our Kansas City meeting
just past did not permit the committee to function as a whole quite as
effectively as it has in past years.

In talking with Mr. Porter, and in correspondence with Mr, Tower, it appears
that their feeling is that if our meeting could be concluded on the 28th,
then they would have a couple of days together in which to work over material
for the Guide, In that way, they could save several weeks of correspondence
which at best is nowhere near as effective as personal conference, It would
appear, then, after considering the wishes of these two important members of
our committee, that if we could have our meetings on Thursday and Friday,
March 27 and 28, Porter and Tower could get out the summer school separate
guide earlier than this year and to much greater advantage, The question
then comes up as to whether or not the dates of Thursday and Friday, March 27
and 28, are agreeable, and next as to location,

Simply as a matter of suggestion, I am suggesting that we meet either in
New York or Kansas City. However, both the dates and places are suggestive
only, If members of the Executive Committee have further ideas about either
time or place, kindly write in and we will re=canvass the situation before
making a decision, In the meantime, let's hear from you at your very
earliest convenience,

Very truly yours
FLOYD A. ROWE
