Coach Bill Borcher of the Ducks was pleased with the defensive work of Bottler on Smith during the late stages of the second half. “Although our fast break and our ball handling has improved notably, I am disappointed in our defensive work,” said the mentor. “We are allowed an hour’s prac tice daily during the next two weeks and we’ll stress ball control according to our system, screening, shooting and defense.” Borcher readily admits that there is less glory in good defen sive play, but that it is a prime necessity.
