Basketball Coach

Anes, Iowe -

Dear Louies

3 - J believe, Louie, that we would make a mistake to advance
the date to December 1. The fact that the Missouri Valley Conference
is having their meeting at a time when our Bige-Six Conference picks
for their meeting dates namely, the first Fridey and Saturday after
the first Monday in December, makes it incumbent upon us that our
basketball coaches should meet the same time as the faculty represen=«
tatives and the athletic directorss that is, if the basketball coaches
meet at all for interpretatione . @ quorum we can pass on
the interpretations and mail then to the coaches who cannot be

presente

But efter this I think that we as basketball coaches need
to pay attention to dates and not have games on the original dates
that are used for assembling of the faculty reprecentativen, athletic
directors and the basketball coaches. —

Valley oteshes would mest anf not the Jigufix eonches, I believe that
‘would be @ mistake. Also I think it is a mistake for out group not to
meet with their groupe It definitely lays us open to criticism that our
conference generally gets the appointments of the NeCeisis and then dees
not meet with the other members of the NeCeAsls groupe

Consequent}y, I believe we should hold to the dates of the 7th
and 8th of Decembers I am sorry but I trust that you will agree with
mee I certainly would like to have you end Bruce there, but I feel
administratively this is a correct moves

I too would like tobe with my group, but the reason that we
scheduled our games on Monday and Tuesday was to keep these dates free
for our meotinge

With all good wishes, I am,

Sincerely yours,

‘Director of Physical Education and Recreation
