today, the stage is set for semi

in the last seconds and 12 pins
highlighted action yesterday in

John DeWald, Sq. 11, a 6-4 win

forged ahead, 4-2.

In the current issue of Look
magazine there is a story entitled
“Why Basketball is Dying,” by
Abe Saperstein, owner-coach of
the internationally famous Har
lem Globetrotters basketball team.
Saperstein makes several good
points in his well written article
concerning the hoop game.
Although the Globetrotters play
to sell-out crowds nearly every
time, Saperstein says that basket
ball as it is played today can no
longer be considered anything but
a fourth-rate spectator sport.
Head Aggie basketball coach,
John Floyd had some interesting^
comments to make on Saperstein’s
article,
Floyd Doesn’t Agree
“It is an interesting story,”
Floyd remarked, “and it brings up
some questions, but there are some
hidden facts and I don’t entirely
agree with Saperstein.”
The Globetrotter coach states
that one professional league is
about to quit and several of the
National Basketball Association
teams are losing money.
“Everybody can’t win and fans
don’t usually follow a losing ball
club,” explains coach Floyd con
cerning this statement.
One reason for basketball de
crease in popularity is the tre
mendous offensive attitude of the
teams, with the present day scores
ranging from up in the 90’s, con
tinues Saperstein.
These high scores are not found
prevalent in the SWC nor in any
other college conference, but the
professional scores are.
Pros Play 60 Minutes
Floyd explains, “professional
basketball plays with 15 minute
quarters which means they are
really playing a game-and-a-half
of college ball. If they only play
ed 40 minutes then their scores
would be in the 60’s also.”
Saperstein advocates *a “hesita
tion point” to slow the game down.
The Globetrotter coach claims that
the elimination of the center jump >
made the teams too offense con-
cious and they have forgotten de
fense. Also that referees blow
their whistle too often against
the defensive squad.
“I don’t entirely agree on this
point,” said Floyd. “The defensive
teams are whistle-shy allright,” he
continued, “but I don’t believe the
emphasis on offense is the reason.
When they raised the number of
fouls from four to five on the
player, the referee began to call
the fouls closer.
“You can still have good de
fense and there are several good
defensive teams in the SWC. An
offensive player can do almost
anything with the ball and not get
a fouled called. When the referees
start fouls on the offensive play
ers .consistent with the defensive
played then the game will be bet
ter.”
Saperstein believes that the in
termission period of basketball
game is’ bad psychology and has
entertainment acts during the rest
periods of the Globetrotters games.
“I agree with him (Saperstein)
on this point,” said Floyd. “Next
season,” Floyd continued, “the Ag
gies are going to have something
going on during the half of all
Coach Floyd
our home games. If we don’t have
our tumblers, we’ll have a singing
grbup or something.”
Globetrotters Use Center Jump
Saperstein closes his article by
saying that next year the fans
watching the Globetrotters will see
the players line-up for the center
jump once again.
“This won’t change the present
college basketball rules,” Floyd
commented, “maybe the profes
sional teams will use it but I
don’t think college coaches would
go for it. Basketball may need
something but I don’t believe the
return to the bid center jump will
help it any.”
Coach Floyd, completing his
third season at, th.e h.elm. of.the
Aggie cage squad, thinks that the
SWC is gradually playing better
basketball.
Teams Have Slowed Down
“Almost all the teams have
slowed their game- down since« I
first started here, and are mov
ing the ball and waiting until they
get a goqd shot jnstead of the old
wide-open style of play,” Floyd
added.
Floyd was born in Wellington,
Kansas, where he played on the
cage team which won the- state-
title twice. From Wellington Floyd
went to Oklahoma A&M, playing
under the old cage-master, Hank
Iba.
After graduating from Oklaho
ma A&M, Floyd was freshman
coach for Iba, until he went into
the Navy in 1943. After three
years in' the Navy, Floyd returned
to his alma mater as an assistant
to Iba.
In 1947, Floyd went back to
Wellington, Kansas and coached
his teams to one state champion-
ship and two state finals, before
coming to Aggicland.
Fans Interested
“The fans "are getting used to
our style of basketball,” Floyd
admitted, “and they are beginning
to watch for plays, passes 'and
mistakes that we make.
“To attract fans you have to
have a winning team. Secondly
you have to play good basketball.
“If we have a couple of good
winning seasons, I expect that the
new field house will be packed
every time we play. Instead of 1,500
students there will be 3,500 - and
the people from Bryan and the
surrounding area,” Floyd contin
ued.
Coach Floyd is married and has
two sons, Dennis, 10, and' Kenny, 5.
