Washington Tries 12-Foot Baskets in Basketball Rules Debate
Kansas coach Phog Allen urges major rule changes to raise baskets to 16 feet, widen a no-shoot zone, restore center jump, shrink ball, and add players. Yale and Ohio State coaches clash with those favoring no change while others propose slower play and wider out-of-bounds lines. In Washington, players test 12-foot baskets to see impact on tall and short players.
