Why is it that a basketball team of today can go out and
core 70 or 75 pointa in a ball game, when 20 years ago the
combined scores of both teams seldom equalled that muctiT
We've heard, a lot of theories explaining that question, and
.we'll probably hear a lot more,
we'll suck with the explana
tion given by John Lewis,
head basketball coach at Wil
lamette university.
Lewis, who captained the
t University of Oregon bas
j ketball team back when 40
points wonld win a game,
: attrlbstes the higher scores
i of today te a number ef
things. , .
. It all started, Lewis thinks,
. with the adoption of the 10
second backcourt limit about
M years ago. Before that, a
team eould retain the ball in
the backcourt and play keep
away almost indefinitely. A
time limit of 10 seconds was
slapped on backcourt tactics,
forcing a team to get the ball
down the floor' quicker than
before, i Hat apeeded up the
gams considerably. Baiaiaa Jrtr nm
The center jump went out after each field goal In
.- If 17, ejaiekenlag the tempo of the game even more. And
' when the three-second keyhole ,rnle went Into efeet, the
, game waa speeded ap still more. With the center enable
! te spend his time loafing aronnd ander the basket, being
forced to move aronnd, ho became a more active player,
. Lewis explains. With the center eat of the way, forwards
, and gaards were given mere opportunity to drive In for
baskets. It all meant mere and more speed, higher and
higher scores.
"With the game apeeded
changes," asys Lewis, "coaches began to stress offense in
teaching basketball. And with offense being stressed, scores
naturally took another climb."
One-Handed Shot Quicker, Harder to Stop
"The sue of the ene-hsnded shot in recent years has
' had a let to do with the Increase In scoring," continues
Lewis. "When Stanford's team, with Hank Lnisetti, went
to Madison Sqnsre Garden In Hit, fans and eastern
coaches poo-pooed the one-handed eiot.lt was strictly a
; Western Invention, and the eastern coaches didn't think
It practical. Now the ene-handed shot la ased by every
player In the country. It at qaieker to shoot and harder
to gaard than the old fashioned two-handed shot."
Kids Begin Younger:
"Kids of todsy are more Interested in basketball than they
were IB years ago," Lewis explains further. "Everywhere you
go you'll find youngsters shooting away at an old hoop tacked
on the side of a garage or a telephone pole. When those young
sters grow up, they are going to be more accurate shooters
than the players of yesteryear, who didn't get the feel of a
basketball until he was in high school.. Fifteen years agb a
.300 shooting -average for a game was great. Now 400
,, average won't win many games.". Accurate shooting . . . one
tmore reason why scores are mounting higher and higher.
Officiating 'Modernized,' Too
Lewis adds a final note by commenting en the offi
ciating. Basketball ffielsls, he believes, hsve become
offense conscious, Just like the coaches, players and the
' game Itself. Referees tend to give the advantage to the
player on offense.
Add 'em all up and you have the evolution of basketball
as teen by John Lewis. Anybody got a better explanation?
