Tar Heel players stay busy over summer
By KIM ADAMS
DTH Staff Writer
Timo Makkonen played on the Finnish
National team, Matt Doherty played on
the South's team in the National Sports
Festival and the rest of the UNC basket
ball team played against the likes of Dud
ley Bradley, Al Wood and Mitch Kupchak.
. The Tar Heels sure didn't take the sum
mer off to get away from basketballT
Almost all of the players including the
five highly-touted freshmen recruits spent
the summer in either college basketball
camps, summer tournaments, or pick-up
games with former UNC players who are
now in the pros.
Assistant coach Bill Guthridge said that
fall practice would begin Oct. 15 but that
all of the players would be working out
on their own as soon as school starts.
Guthridge also said that the team was
healthy, including James Worthy who
had a steel pin taken out of his ankle at
the beginning of the summer. "James is
doing very well with his ankle," Guthridge
said. "He worked in a basketball camp at
Campbell College and got along just fine."
"James said that his ankle feels better
than it has since high school when he in
jured it for the first time," team physician
Dr. Joseph DeWalt said. "He's been
playing on it and says that it feels fine."
DeWalt added that he had examined all
the freshmen and that the whole team, in
cluding Worthy, Jimmy Black and Sam
Perkins was healthy. .
Makkonen, who was red-shirted for his
freshman year last season, was the third
string center for the Finnish National team
which participated in the World Games in
Rumania this summer. The United States
team won the basketball tournament there.
"I'm not sure how much experience
Timo got," Guthridge said. "But, it was
good for him to go there since he hasn't
been home much since he came to this
country."
The players who stayed in summer
school here usually were involved in pick
up games every afternoon in Woollen
Gym against the pros, including former
UNC players who have been playing in
Europe like Rich Yohakor and Jeff Wolf.
In the Sports Festival games in Syracuse,
N.Y., freshmen recruits Michael Jordan
and Buzz Peterson played for the South
team along with Doherty. Jordan led the
South with 18 points in downing the East
94-93. Jordan and Peterson also played in
the McDonalds Classic at the end of last
spring.
"The freshmen are all here and are ready .
to start practice," assistant coach Eddie
Fogler said. "They all played a lot this
summer and have been given a clean bill
of health."
Besides Jordan and Peterson, the other
freshmen are Warren Martin, John Brown
lee and Rynwood Robinson.
The Tar Heels face a tough schedule in
cluding games with Kentucky, Rutgers and
Kansas, besides the conference opponents.

NCAA decides to keep 48-team field
Staff Reports
After deliberating over whether to expand the NCAA basket
ball tournament field, the NCAA Basketball Committee, decided
to keep its current 48-team limit. The Committee, which held its
annual meeting in June in Cape Cod, Mass., also eliminated the
third place game of the Final Four, won by Virginia in 1981.
The NCAA Basketball Rules Committee also made some chan
ges when they met at the national championship in Philadelphia,
March 26-31.
There will be a jump ball at the start of the game and at the
start of overtime, but at no other times during the game. After
the initial jump ball, teams will alternate throwing inbounds passes.
"The general feeling behind that ruling was that it's very tough
to have a referee throw a perfect toss," said Ed Steitz, editor and
national interpreter of basketball rules for the NCAA.
The committee also made moveable rings legal to protect equip
ment and prevent bent rims on dunks. A player fouled in the act
of dunking while the ball is in the cylinder and in contact with his
hand may grasp the ring to prevent injury.
In other changes, teams mayot cause either backboard to vi
brate. Previously, this rule was limited to only the defensive team.
. Purposefully faking a free throw attempt is how a violation.
The committee also voted to charge all technical f oulsm the
bench to the head coach. After three technical fouls the-coach is
ejected from the game.
"The technical foul rule is designed to improve bench decor
um because we feel the head coach is responsible for the be
havior of everyone on the bench," Steitz said.
The committee also drew up a list of points of emphasis, en
couraging officials to clean up post play and call technical fouls
and intentional fouls to stop the clock. The committee
emphasized the idea that every player is entitled to a vertical
plane and that he should not be interfered with in this space.
