(College clocks are now set at 30 seconds.) "In Continued from B-3 Behind the Gold he pushed out onto the course, dropping into the Hundschopf and down to the tricky Minschkante and through Canadian Corner. Interval times flashed the news - he was in the lead. The Europeans scoffed as Johnson entered the Langentrejen, expecting the American to come out of the untelevised blind spot behind in time. But his lead had grown. Time kept ticking by. Johnson's legs were burning. Heading to the treacherous Hanneggschuss - now a minute, 47 seconds into his run - disaster struck. At speed greater than 70 mph, Johnson caught an edge. His skis splayed out. For a split second he was in grave danger. He quickly Continued from B-1 Sports Briefs Each Office Is Independently Owned And Operated. B E A LOCAL HERO Volunteer for a local non-profit SKI WITH BASIN NORDIC SKI PROGRAM Basin Recreation is offering Nordic our practices, when we do defensive drills, we have a drill where we have to defend for 35 seconds. That's an awfully long time to try to defend." Fine also has implemented 35-second drills in practice. "I think 35 seconds makes a lot of sense, especially early on," he said. "It's a lot easier to lower it as teams adjust. I think it's something high school kids can handle, especially as college moves to a 30-second clock. I love the motivational aspect on the defensive end of having a set time teams need to defend." According to the article in the Salt Lake Tribune, shot clocks have not been discussed by the Utah High School Activities Association. But, Fine said, he'd love to see PCHS Activities Director Jamie Sheetz initiate a discussion if no one else does at the group's next rules meeting. Fine thinks a 35-second shot clock would not only make games more entertaining to watch, but also benefit players by forcing them to be quicker and crisper on the offensive end. "With a 35-second shot clock, both coaches have a strategy that can be implemented," he said. "It brings a lot of strategy into the game, but gives a highschool level team time to set up an offense and run it through." Overall, Fine sees shot clocks as part of the future of high school basketball. He said Utah has a chance to be among the first states to implement the change. Currently, only eight states use shot clocks at the prep level. "More and more states will utilize a shot clock," Fine said. "It's only a matter of time." pulled his skis back on line but shot far off the course. U.S. Ski Team Alpine Director Bill Marolt looked up from the finish and joined a collective groan from the crowd not believing what they had just seen. Johnson was safe. But surely he had lost time and, more importantly, the speed he needed to get through Austrian Hole, through the S-Turns and down to the finish. He lost neither. Twenty-three seconds later, he became the first American man to win a downhill since Buddy Werner's Hahnenkamm title in 1959. Bill Johnson's win that day in Wengen was historic. But it wasn't the win that he savored. It was knowing he had punched his ticket to Sarajevo. Back at the Park Hotel - the setting for Robert Redford's "Downhill Racer" 15 years earlier - there was no big celebration. After light congratulations, Head Coach Theo Nadig packed Johnson and others up for the drive to his home in Switzerland for a celebratory steak dinner. Johnson's recent death triggered an outpouring of memories. He was a polarizing fig- ure. But like him or not, he had earned respect. Time is the ultimate gauge of history. Now, 32 years since his storybook season, Bill Johnson has earned his place in history. "Very few people have the honor of being the first to do something," said the late Jim McKay of ABC. "In the future, other American men will win gold medals in Olympic skiing. But forever, Bill Johnson is the first." In an ESPN E:60 documentary produced in 2013, Emmy-award winning commentator Jeremy Schaap asked Bill some simple questions. It was a time when Bill's mind remained sharp, but he could only barely utter verbal responses. "If you had never gotten on skis, you might never be in this wheelchair. Was it all worth it?" Bill gave it just a fleeting second of thought, then quickly responded, "Yeah." For decades, ski racing aficionados have had their opinions on Bill Johnson. But regardless of those thoughts, over three decades his legacy has grown. A decade after Johnson's heroics, Tommy Moe won the Olympic downhill. A decade more and Daron Rahlves won the Hahnenkamm and Bode Miller earned a crystal globe. After his 2001 downhill accident, Johnson's battle was to stay alive. His goal was to ski once again. Getting back on snow was the biggest battle of his life. But he did it. "The doctors told me no, but that's too bad," he said a decade ago. "I love skiing. I'll always ski. Because it's my life." Bill Johnson's life of just 55 years was packed with trauma and tragedy. But for eight magical weeks in 1984, he was king of the world. That sly grin on his face told the story of a young man who had achieved his dream. Ski sessions in February and March. These classes are for kids and adults who are just learning to skate ski.
