3 On behalf of The University of Texas at Arlington, I’m pleased to welcome you to the 2014 NWBA Intercollegiate Division National Championship tournament. It’s our honor to host you and this prestigious event in our College Park Center.

At UT Arlington, we strive to excel in providing the best possible overall academic experience for our students, underlined by the critical importance of a world-class education. We also recognize the crucial role that intercollegiate sports play in enriching not only the lives of our student athletes but the entire campus community. The skills and character you have developed on the court – teamwork, motivation and drive, strategic thinking, and leadership – have and will serve you well during your collegiate years and throughout your life.

This tournament features the highest levels of wheelchair athletes, and I’m proud that the UT Arlington Movin’ Mavs have a tremendous history of excellence and achievement. Coach Doug Garner and his teams are incredible ambassadors of our University, just as I know you are for your alma mater, and their winning records are only part of that story. Funded in part by a U.S. Paralympic Olympic Opportunity Fund Grant, the Movin’ Mavs provide adaptive sports clinics and camps for disabled veterans, disabled members of the armed forces, and the public in cooperation with the Veterans Affairs’ Warrior Transition Programs. UT Arlington staff members have served as coaches for the Army Warrior Transition Command Wheelchair Basketball developmental program and the Army National Wheelchair Basketball Team.

UT Arlington has a long-standing commitment to serving all our constituents through education and services. Just this fall, the University launched a new disability studies minor, which includes both an exploration of the experiences of people with disabilities and how ideas about disability and ability shape politics, culture, economics, and social interactions. This interdisciplinary program is designed to meet the interest among students preparing for a variety of graduate programs and for careers in law, education, public health, nursing, architecture, urban planning and social work. UT Arlington is the only university in the state of Texas to offer a disability studies degree.

While you are here, I hope you will take the opportunity to tour our campus, meet our outstanding faculty, staff & students, and learn even more about the excellence that defines UT Arlington – the 7th fastest growing public research university in the U.S., one of only 6 named a “Next Generation University,” and the 5th most diverse national university. We are a university on the move and we hope you’ll take advantage of all our campus has to offer, perhaps even coming back to join the Maverick family in the future.

Best wishes on successful tournament play, and again, welcome to UT Arlington.

Sincerely,

Vistasp M. Karbhari President 4 Dear Athletes, Friends, and Fans,

We are honored to be hosting the NWBA Intercollegiate Division National Championships on our campus this year and would like to congratulate all of the teams for rising to the top of their Divisions and making it to this prestigious event. Hard work and determination has brought you this far and we are very proud of your athletic and academic achievements.

The NWBA’s vision statement directs its members to lead, inspire and win. The student athletes competing in this weekend’s tournament are leaders in their sport inspiring everyone to overcome obstacles and become winners on and off the court. It takes determined and passionate individuals to create success, and that strong communal bond is evident in wheelchair basketball.

The Division of Student Affairs sees the positive impact wheelchair basketball and other co-curricular activities have on our students and we understand the importance of learning and developing through relationship building and real world experiences. We provide the resources and support to make these outlets available to everyone on campus.

All of the students, faculty and staff here at UT Arlington wish the Movin’ Mavs and all the student athletes competing in the tournament the best of luck. We would like to thank Coach Doug Garner for organizing and helping to bring this extraordinary event to UT Arlington.

Enjoy your time here in Maverick country and best wishes for a great tournament.

Dr. Frank Lamas Vice President for Student Affairs The University of Texas at Arlington

8 Central Intercollegiate Conference / Division History

In 1970, 21 years after the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA) organized, Southwest State University, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and The University of Illinois formed the Central Intercollegiate Conference (CIC). By 1999, CIC development required the member institutions to reorganize as the NWBA Central Intercollegiate Division (CID), giving the Division more autonomy with NWBA.

The NWBA CID schools offer a distinct mix of academics and athletics. Daily in-season practices, full competitive schedules, weight training, academic counseling, and study sessions prepare the student athlete for the rigors of life, balancing vocational responsibilities and vocational interests. CID men and women have represented Australia, , Mexico, Sweden, Germany and the United States in and the world championships of wheelchair basketball.

9 Playing the Game: Wheelchair Basketball FAQs

Modifications ///

How does wheelchair basketball compare to regular basketball? The first thing to notice about wheelchair basketball is that it is the same game as played by able-bodied athletes. Wheelchair basketball players set picks, run fast breaks, and are able to shoot with incredible accuracy from three- range. With a few modifications, wheelchair basketball abides by the same rules as the stand-up game, including court size, basket height, and lane violations in key areas. Games are divided into two 20-minute periods with a 10-minute halftime. There is also a 24-second shot clock. Dribbling ///

How does a player control a wheelchair and the ball at the same time? A player is allowed two pushes of the wheelchair and then must dribble the basketball at least once. More than two pushes is considered a traveling violation 3-Pointers, Free Throws, and Out-of-Bounds /// What about wheelchairs and the lines?

10 For a successful three-point or , the point of contact for the large wheels of the chair with the floor must be behind the three- point line or free throw line when the player attempts the shot. However, the front casters may be over the line. There is no relation to the plane regarding the position of the shooter.

A player is out-of-bounds when any part of his/her body or wheelchair touches the floor or any object on or outside of a boundary. Physical Advantages ///

What if a player comes out of his/her chair?

A technical foul results if a player puts his/her feet on the floor or rises out of the chair to gain an unfair physical advantage. This is called a Physical Advantage Foul (PAF).

All players must remain firmly seated in the wheelchair at all times, not using a functional leg or stump for physical advantage over an opponent (e.g., rising out of his/her chair, using the heel on the floor to maneuver the chair, leaning forward on the footrests to guard a player). A defensive player guarding an offensive player may not gain an advantage by leaning so far forward that his/her footrests touch the floor. CONTACT ///

Why do wheelchair basketball players seem to keep crashing into or blocking each other?

The strategy of wheelchair basketball differs a little by the nature of the wheelchair. Setting picks in the backcourt allows for numerical advantages or prevents a player from getting into the action. This and the natural interaction of basketball lead to inevitable contact.

When 10 players in wheelchairs are moving rapidly in a limited area, some contact is certain to occur. Contact, which is entirely incidental to an effort by opponents to reach a loose ball, or accidental contact that may happen when opponents are in equally favorable positions to perform

11 normal movements should not be considered illegal.

General rules of contact apply in wheelchair basketball. Because of the nature of the game, negligible contact is at the discretion of the officials.

Intentional chair contact caused by a player to affect the progress or position of another player is a form of blocking, charging, holding, or pushing. Contact caused by the momentum of a chair by a player who has made no visible effort to stop his/her chair while moving in for a goal is a charge. Player Classification ///

Who can play?

To be eligible for play in the NWBA, a player must have an irreversible lower extremity disability that consistently interferes with functional mobility, such as paralysis, amputation, radiological evidence of limb shortening, or partial to full joint ankylosis or joint replacement. (Findings such as pain or numbness without other objective findings shall not be considered a permanent lower extremity disability.)

How do people with different types of disabilities compete equally?

Players are classified according to their level of ability. These classifications are then mixed so that any five players on the court will be level in their physical (if not basketball) abilities. Classification also encourages and extends the opportunities of participation to more individuals with severe disabilities. The higher the classification number, the less extreme of the disability.

In the NWBA, there are four classification levels in college, each given a numerical value or factor. At no time in a game shall a team have players participating with a total value points greater than 14, no more than three Class IV players playing together at the same time.

12 Playing the Game: RULES & DEFINITIONS

PLAYER: Any individual who is eligible, who because of permanent severe leg disability or paralysis of the lower portion of the body, will benefit from participation in wheelchair basketball, and who would be denied the opportunity to play basketball were it not for the wheelchair adaptation.

WHEELCHAIR: The height of the seat must not excel 21” from the floor. The height of the foot platform or first point of contact must be no more than 4 7/8” from the floor. Seat cushions are permitted for medical and therapeutic reasons. A medium weight foam rubber is permitted (2” maximum thickness for Class III and IV players and 4” maximum thickness for all other players). A heel strap of 1 1/2” width (minimum) must be attached to the foot platform bars. Each chair must be equipped with a roll bar or other protective device to ensure against damage to the playing surface.

CONTACT: The chair is considered a part of the player. General rules of contact in regular basketball (charging, blocking, etc.) apply to wheelchair basketball.

TIME LIMITS: An offensive player cannot remain more than three seconds in the free throw lane while the player’s team is in possession of the ball.

13 DRIBBLE: A player in possession of the ball may not push more than twice in succession with one or both hands in either direction without tapping the ball to the floor again. Taking more than two consecutive pushes constitutes a traveling violation. A player may, however, wheel the chair and bounce the ball simultaneously just as an able-bodied player runs and bounces the ball simultaneously in regular basketball.

LOSS OF THE BALL: If a player in possession of the ball makes any physical contact with the floor or tilts the chair so far backward that the anti-tip (safety) casters touch the floor, it is a violation and the ball is awarded to the other team.

OUT-OF-BOUNDS: A player is considered out-of-bounds when any part of the player’s body or wheelchair touches the floor or outside the boundary.

PHYSICAL ADVANTAGE FOUL: Because of the varying causes and degrees of disability among participants, a basic rule of keeping firmly seated in the wheelchair at all times and not using a functional leg or leg stump for physical advantage over an opponent is strictly enforced. An infraction of this rule (, jump ball, etc.) constitutes a physical advantage foul. It is so recorded in the official scorebook. Three such fouls disqualify a player from the game. Two free throws are awarded and the ball is given to the opposing team out of bounds.

14 FALLING: If a player falls out of the chair during play, the officials will immediately suspend play if there is any chance of danger to the fallen player. If not, the officials will withhold their whistles until the particular play in progress has been completed. If a player falls out of the chair to gain possession of the ball or by falling keeps opponents from gaining possessions of the ball, the ball is awarded to the opposing team.

TEAM BALANCE: Each classification will be given a numerical value or factor as follows:

Class I: 1 value point Class II: 2 value point Class III: 3 value point Class IV: 4 value point

At no time in a game shall a team have players with total points greater than 14 value points on the floor at the same time.

CONTROL AND ENFORCEMENT: The official scorer is responsible for seeing that personnel on the floor for either team at any time does not exceed 14 points. (This only has to be checked at the start of each half and at the time of substitutions.) If at any time during the game, it is identified that a team exceeds the ‘player point limit,’ a technical foul is called against the team in violation, and is handled as all other technical fouls, with a correction to the lineup being made at that time.
