Kansas coachs speculate on Lovellette use at tourney
Informal chats with two coaches reveal ideas for Clyde Lovellette’s role at the Kansas tourney in Kansas City. One favoring post under the bucket as a rebounder and inside scorer, the other proposing more face‑to‑basket time and a slot for a quick feeder. Lovellette’s scoring average sits near 23.8 PPG, with a 214 total points over six games, boosting national visibility. Refereeing concerns stir debate about using Big Ten officials in the Big Seven tournament. Kansas coach Phog Allen urged home officials for home play.
