Present Play Is Too Fast for High School Hoernemann Says
Ohio coach Paul Hoernemann of New Philadelphia urges slower pace for tournament play to protect high school players. He supports removing the three second and 10 second rules and trimming center jump to curb speed while praising smaller teams’ chances under the new rules. His Quakers enter the Columbus classic unbeaten in 21 starts with a strong offense and stingy defense.
