Provision should be made for offensive team being able to decline a foul which
is followed in the same play by a basket. Sharp‘practice by defensive team in oo
causing a foul to nullify a well-earned basket is on the increasé and should be curbed.

I am loud and positive in advocating the use of a molded ball for the following.
reasong: : :
1. It gives greater wniformity of performances :

2. It is livlier and has greater rebounding qualities thus contributing to
relieving caéngestion around both bank boards.

3e If standardized to the specifications equivalent to the 5=ply"last biit"
ball it will be the best yet devised for the game.

4. The best ball on the market will be the white Last Bilt ball as soon as @
more permanent white is devised. :

 

I believe thet it would be mch better for the game if a player would be al-
lowed to stay in the outer half of the free throw area as long @s he cared to whe=-
ther he had the ball or note I thing this would result in fewer wild passes out
of this area to teammates because of lack of time to hold ball; it would also give
players a chance to slow up the torrid pace that has been set and give the fans
or spectators a chance to see some really fine ball handling and more clever block
plays built around the center area if given more time for pivot man to stay here
and it would not give the big pivot men any particular advantages

Part £121 No. 13 I believe the Last=built ball as it is at present is too lively-
teamg that are not accustomed to its use are greatly handicapped.

In back court, travelling should be called loosely unless the defense is crowd=
ing or the offense is stalling=in other words if the offense is teking the ball
down at a reasonable speed and has no opposition, I do not believe that travelling
should be called rigidly. I would like to have fewer and better paid officials.
These officials should be required to attend interpretation meetings. This would
lead to more uniformity in the game. In PartIII Noe 18, the suggestion might
be worth considering. In Part III Noe ll, the deliberate foul may involve discussion.

 

I feel we have a very good game the way the rules now reads I would like to
see the three fifteen minutes periods tried in college ball, for et least one season.
Also the calling of the foul on the guard, and not on the dribbler has been a
cause for discussion this yeare

feams thet were used to playing with the 4 foot line under the goal were hand=
icapped on floors using the 2 foot line. an

I still favor some legislation in regard to an opponent who deliberately crashes
the player who is scoring or about to score a baskets I have had players hurt time
and again and all the officials have done to date is to foul the opponent.

I have the conviction that legislation should be made to aid the goal shooter
who successfully makes a goal but because of a violation which in the minds of the
official happened before the shooting is given one shote My suggestion would be
that a case of this kind could be handled as a case similar is handled in football
where a gain is made and on the play the defense commits a foule There would be a
choice. In this basketball case, I wouldsuggest that the captain have a choice of
taking the goel with no foul assessed or not accepting the goal, take the free throw
and penalize the defensive player foulinge Weedless to say a good defensive man
with three fould might be taken out of the game but in so doing the offensive team
would receive only a free throw opportunity if they considered the advantage this waye
