College game doesn't
After the Carolina-Maryland game
Saturday, the question of a 30-second clock
was again raised by those who are tired of.
being beaten by the Four Corners, or any
other type of stall offense. Terrapin mentor
Lefty Driesell, known more for his colorful
comments than his coaching ability, was
quoted by the press complaining about
"Dean Smith and that Four Corners stuff."
Advocates of a 30-second clock in college
basketball say the delay game is boring to the
spectators and prevents the teams involved

UNC center Tommy LaGarde (45) will have to be on target
tonight when the Tar Heels entertain Wake Forest in
Carmichael Auditorium. The two teams have met twice this
from playing "real" basketball.
It is certainly debatable what real
basketball is. To some it may be the run-and-gun,
one-on-one style of most pro teams or it
may be a more deliberate offense which
many college teams employ. Regardless, not
all basketball fans will be satisfied with any
rule change.
Dean Smith has argued that installing a
shot clock in college ball will make it
virtually impossible for a team which is a
decided underdog to pull an upset. In pro
ball, Smith says, talent is fairly equally
distributed and it is no problem, but this is
not so in college.
Smith's argument makes sense. If a shot
clock were used in college, then zone
defenses would have to be outlawed (imagine
being forced to shoot within 30 seconds
against a good zone). With both teams
forced to play man-to-man and having to
shoot at least once every 30 seconds, there
would be few major upsets.

Would this be better for the fans?
Probably not. Those who have followed
ACC basketball may remember games such
as State's 12-10 upset of Duke, or Carolina's
21-20 loss to the Blue Devils or State's
double-overtime victory over South
Carolina in an ACC Final. None of these
upsets could have occurred with a shot clock
in use, and all the fans would have come to
the games knowing who would win.
This is not to say that upsets would be
eliminated, just that there would not be
nearly as many of them. What there would
be more of is 30- and 40-point victory

margins which somehow just don't seem very
exciting.
The shot clock would also limit coaching
strategy. No more switching defenses, no
more forcing a team to come out of a zone
defense, no more decisions on whether to go
to the Four Corners, and when to do it.
The last time a reactionary rule change
was made in the NCAA (eliminating the
dunk) it proved to be a mistake. Just because
some teams have been successful with a delay
game doesn't mean it should be prohibited.
Let's make coaches devise a way to defend
against it (Wake. Forest was successful at
that in the Big Four tourney).
Let's keep the college game a little more
sophisticated than playground ball. A shot
clock would certainly speed the tempo of the
game. But in doing so, it would also reduce
the college game to the level of pro ball,
except less interesting, since college talent,
on the average, is not as good.

There's a new game being played at the various coliseums and auditoriums along
the Atlantic Coast. It's old name was ACC basketball, but this season a more
appropriate title is "Winning on someone else's home court."
"Okay, fellas," a member of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons said to his
teammates on Jan. 8 in College Park, Md. "I've got a great idea let's turn the tables
and make a farce out of the home court advantage."
The power of persuasion prevailed and the Deacons won.
That's how it began, more or less, and now the guests hold a 9-8 advantage over
the hosts in 17 ACC games so far this season.
Wake is among those which has been on both sides of the fence. Besides their win
at Maryland, the Deacs won at Clemson. They have defended the home fort three
times, but only successfully 'twice.
UNC spoiled Wake's perfect record by slipping by the Deacons 77-75 in Winston
Salem. The loss didn't set well with Black and Gold faithful and they vowed to
avenge the defeat when their boys invade Carmichael Auditorium.
Well, the Tar Heels play at home tonight and guess who's coming to dinner?
Those little devils, the Demon Deacons, will try to create havoc when the
televised game (channel five) tips off at nine.
Wake Head Coach Carl Tacy sees this as an important game for his team, but says
he doesn't think the two previous battles figure into his players' emotions.
"The last game won't have a great deal of effect, I don't, think," Tacy said
Tuesday. "We've played two games so far. We won the first one by one (97-96) and
North Carolina won the second one by two. It shows how close these two teams are.
"To win the conference, you've got to win your home games and win a couple of
big games on the road. We've won all but one home game. North Carolina, of
course, beat us at home. They also won a big game at Maryland. But we have two
big wins on the road, too. So, it's an important game for us from the standpoint that
it would give us another big road win. But, if we then lost at Duke next week, it
would be the big game," he said.
"It all comes down to playing 12 games and winning as many as you can," Tacy
concluded.
So far, Tacy's squad has played five of those games and won all but one. The Tar
Heels have played six and won five.
More importantly for those interested in that new game mentioned earlier, the
Tar Heels have reigned superior on their home battleground. UNC has defeated
Virginia and Duke in Carmichael and Clemson in Greensboro.
Now, it's time for Wake vs. Carolina, act III. It's a thriller, with spine-tingling
excitement and breath-taking drama. So far this season, it's been a best-seller.
But most significant, it, as is true of the conference in general, knows no home
court advantage. . .at least not yet.

ASU jolts
Appalachian State handed North Carolina a crucial Division I women's basketball defeat
Tuesday night in Boone, 76-70. The loss put the Tar Heels two games behind division-leading
N. C. .State in the loss column. Since State and Carolina only meet one more time this season,
the Tar Heels must hope for some help if they are to catch the Wolfpack.
Carol Almond led the ASU scoring with 20 points, followed by Jane Albright, who had 1 1 .
Candie Loy, Linda Murphy, Madeline Frosch and Evie Larrirnore all had eight points.
Cathey Daniels led the Tar Heel losing effort with 17 points, while Mika Long (above) had
16. Other UNC scoring: Bernadette McGlade, nine; Fran Hardison, Cathy Shoemaker and
Pat Johnston, eight each; and Robin Miller and Sheila Judge, two each.
Hardison led Carolina in rebounding with 12. Shoemaker, with nine, was second. Carolina
outrebounded ASU, 47-40.
Appalachian led at the half, 42-34.
Carolina's next games are on a weekend trip. Friday, it plays at Eastern Kentucky.
Saturday, highly-ranked Tennessee Tech hosts the Tar Heels.
