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

cause of the noise.”
However, Braswell sees
some benefit in the rule, “It
has cut out a lot of the
coaching from the sidelines.
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
