Many College Coaches Want i Shooting Rule NEW YORK (INS) — San Francisco’s 33-to-24 victory over California is going to be cited as exhibit A by the considerable number of basketball coaches who would like to adopt something akin to the pro’s 24-second rule. Last year, the National Basketall Association decided that stalling was killing basketball, and it put in a rule requiring a team to get off a shot within 24 seconds after it gains possession of the ball, There was quite a controversy at the time, with a large number of people arguing that the rule - would cause shots to be hurried i and result in sloppy play. ' It hasn’t worked that way. The I pro teams have discovered that 24 i seconds is plenty of time to set ) up offensive plays. They are shoot- - Ing oftener than before, but no less accurately, as ever - ballooning scores testify. > Pro basketball has had a big attendance upsurge, and those who favor the 24-second rule would like to give it credit for making the game faster and livelier. So it is a pretty safe bet the . colleges will borrow the same rule. They may decide to make the time limit a bit longer—say 30 > seconds—but the principle is the same. The fans want fast, colorful basketball or they won’t buy ft. Saturday night, California, out to try to upset San Francisco, stalled for almost nine minutes in the second half. Joe Hagler of the Golden Bears stood and held the ball. San Francisco’s Bill Russell, supposedly “guarding” Hagler, stood around too. As It turned out, the Dons won their 40th straight game, anyway. But they did it by sinking 21 foul shots and only six field goals. California had a measly five field goals and 14 free throws. 7J All in all, it couldn’t have been much fun for the spectators. And that poses a rather delicate problem, namely, is it most important to win by whatever means ,so long as It is legal, or should the wellbeing of the fans be taken into consideration. The NBA, being professional, frankly catered to the tans when it put in the 24-second rule. But college basketball is another thing. Somehow, there lingers in memory Nat Holman, coach of GUy GeMegw-of expounding a few yean ago: "After all, we’re in the entertainment business. We ought to have a rule against stalling because the fans don’t like it, and they will quit coming to see us play.” In other words, Holman was'saying that winning should be subordinated to entertaining the fans. It wasn't but a week or so later that all Holman's team turned out to have been shaving points and fixing games. Seemed they, like their cocah, didn’t think winning was important, either. Fred Fitzsimmons To Manage Binghampton NEW YORK (INS) — Freddy Fitzsimmons, coach of the New Yprk Giants tor the last six seasons, will manage the New York Yankees’ Binghampton club in the Eastern League. Fitzsimmons, who piloted the Philadelphia Phillies for three years before joining the Giants, succeeds former Yankee infielder George Stirnweiss at Binghamton.
