(Yar borough Photo) Official Says Area Basketball Improving Area high school basket ball has shown a marked im provement in the past seven years, according to Jimmy Braswell oi' Clinton. Braswell is in his seventh year as a high school basket ball officials and he says: “I believe the coaches, players and fans are all smarter about basketball than they used to be. I know fans are more, vocal about it than they were when I first started. I attribute this to the fact that the fans are learning more about bas ketball and therefore are more critical. I don’t mean they’re unruly. The schools do a fine job of keeping it under control.” As an example of smarter play, Braswell sayi: “Several years ago, when there was a collision as a player drove for the basket, just about every time it was called a blocking foul—a foul on the defender. Now. it’s about 50-50 between calling it a blocking foul or a charging foul. This is because the de fenders have gotten smarter. They’ve learned to establish their position and stand still in front of the man with the ball. If the ballhandler runs over him, it’s a charging foul. . However, if that de fender moves before the col lision, it’s probably going to be a blocking foul on the de fender.” Concerning rules changes this season, Braswell likes the new midcourt rule. There’s an area about three-feet wide stretching from the midcourt line. In that area, a player must pass the ball within five seconds if there’s a defender within six feet of him. “This rule was designed to cut autithe stall or freezing the ball,” Braswell says, “And I think it has been very effective. We haven’t had to call the violation much this season. It has speeded up the game and it makes the game more interesting for specta tors. Also, I think it forces players to play better.” Clinton. High School Coach Herman Jackson agrees that the midcourt rule is a good one and has speeded up the action. JACKSOJtf and Braswell differ, however, on a new rule which has the substitutes and coaches of competing teams sitting adjacent to the scorer’s table. Previously, the teams sat at opposite ends of the court. Jackson says, M We haven't had any particular trouble with this rule but it often forces the visiting team to sit % iri|| Cl the home hard- te 4fce players be- erwffvi: 'Ski W£V'-.

The Blue Hose dropped their seventh decision in los ing 73-64 to previously winless Pheiffer at PC Monday. PC is winless in the Caro- linas Conference, with an 0 6 record and has a 2-7 mark overall. It was Pfeiffer’s first win in nine outings, and left PC alone in the confer ence cellar. Pfeiffer led at halftime 34-28 and moved ahead 58-37 midway of the second half. PC cut the margin to eight points but that's as close as the Hose could get. Richard Quillen again was the top scorer for PC as the senior guard tallied 21 points. Coach Art Mussclman com inented, “We didn't play well enough to w in and didn t de serve it.

When teams were seated un der the baskets, some coach es called their team’s plays every time the teams came down the court. Also, the vis iting team usually was seat ed under the clock and the visiting coach had some trou ble keeping up with the time.” Of the other major rules change this season—the rule against “dunking” the ball — Coach Jackson says with a laugh, “That hasn’t affected us at all. Our tallest man is only 6-1 so ‘dunking’ the ball is not one of the things we worry about.”; c B&ASWELL is one of seven young men from the area who are high school basketball officials.
