Rick Hall, Assistant Director
for Intramural Team Sports, says
Super League players prefer to
play by regular High School
rules. The games are longer be
cause regulation timeouts are
permitted. In addition. Hall
said, the Super League players
get the best referees resulting in
better games and better compe
tition.
Many of the players expressed
liking other aspects of Super
League play, such as the open
dunking rule, fiberglass back-
boards, wider court space, and
the lack of nearby courts to dis
tract the game with buzzers and
whistles from another game.

are teams that could play Super
League, but decided to play
Class A so they would play more
games. Some of them are teams
that have played together in city

would rather continue offering
it, so that very highly skilled
players have an opportunity for
better competition.

necessary for the league to be
