It occurrcd to me the other
day, in the form of a solid
thrashing by the associate dean
of the College of Journalism,
the reason some people don't
read sports is because they
don't understand the terminology.
He said, "Make it
simple and explain."
So I skulked back to my office,
still smarting from the verI
i ?
oai oarrage, and decided I
would try to explain a few of
basketball's more elusive terms
for the benefit of those who
don't know what in the hell
sports writers arc talking about.
For those hard-core basketball
fans out there who can
diagram a box-and-one zone \
defense with the ease of writing
a shopping list, this may be a 1
review, but read it anyway
because it'll make my editor j
happy. 1
Basketball has quite a few ;
synonyms, all of which have i
been used by sports writers I
throughout the ages. They were
probably developed from the i
guuerai sounds oi primitive 1
tribes during the Mesozoic era. ;
