Michele Bartmess NBA employes, although I think its right for that level of play. I think a clock has proven to be the most workable in the conferences that have tried it, although 35 seconds has some appeal. Colleges dont need a three-poiplay, but they need to do away with the drudgery of a slowdown game if they are going to keep fans in the arenas. As an advocate of games VIEW 2B WEST VALLEY he will have a chance to put numbers on the board, and the Black players who are schooled in playground ball are generally looking for a chance to freewheel his Aggie program the past two years. The PCAA is a very fine league and the Ags are competitive. But Utah (meaning as a state) fans are fickle. They want to be entertained, and they arent particularly impressed with defense. The shot clock could have an impact on rewarding teams that do play good defense. No team can hold a determined foe scoreless for a great length of time, but if by playing solid defense for 45 seconds it can force a bad shot, there will be more than ample reason to teach defensive skills. Many coaches who once disdained any changes in what they considered a perfect game, are now lending support to the hue and cry for a shot clock. The reasons for slowing down the game are usually obvious. Generally an outmanned team wants to shorten the game so it will have an opportunity to win at the end. Thats sound strategy, and no one can fault it. it. I think all four major college programs in Utah right now feature an exciting brand of basketball that sells tickets and inspires talented players to want to play there. Although Utah has had a tough season in the win-los- s column, Lynn Archibalds style will pay off in the kinds of players he will sign in the future. LaDell Andersen seems to have satisfied the BYU fans. When more than 22,000 turn out for games that are on television, something is going right.

Nor can I fault the strategy of looking for the final shot of a half, but it must have been incredibly boring for Ute fans to watch New Mexico pass the ball around during the entire overtime period of the Lobos scintillating 4 victory over the Uteslast week.

While the game should not necessarily be tailored to the fans, where would a major college program be without them? Its been nice to have more WAC games televised this year. Is it an accident that BYU, Utah and San Diego State seemed to have more than their fair share of opportunities to be on television? Until SDSU ran afoul of the NCAA. All three like to get out and run. Theres big money in TV and college sports, but the product will only sell if it piques fan interest. I saw on TV Sunday that Princeton is one of those already assured of an NCAA tournament berth. Does anyone out there have enough influence to keep them out of the same regional as BYU? Always assuming the Y makes the field? I hope so on both counts. However, I think Id rather have them play Princeton than Arkansas. ing to when But no one can fault fans with a choice if they seek their If & Deseret News J |
