Bob Rosenthal Sports Information Director 406/243-2522 Information Services, University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812 2/14/78 GRIZ MOVE INTO FIRST PLACE TIE IN BIG SKY sports state + Big Sky + basketball suppl. BASKETBALL rosenthal/ml MISSOULA— The Montana Grizzlies moved into a first place tie with Idaho State on the strength of two wins and an ISU loss in Big Sky Conference basketball action over the past weekend. Montana and Idaho State are now 8-2 in league play with Gonzaga, Boise State and Weber State not far behind, and all looking for one of four berths in the post-season tournament. The Grizzlies overcame two teams displaying the four corners offense, beating Northern Arizona 58-46 and Weber State, 62-52. Both teams gave the Griz fits in first half play, but Montana showed patience in working against the four corners offense. "Our ballclub showed a great deal of character in coming back," UM Head Basketball Coach Jim Brandenburg said. "In the Weber State game, we could not have gotten off to a worse start, and their tremendous height in the zone was a factor in their favor," Brandenburg said. "We turned the ball over too many times in the first half, but we regrouped and turned it around. The win was a good overall effort and everybody on the squad contributed." The Grizzlies now must face the same two teams this weekend on their courts. Montana plays Northern Arizona, Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Flagstaff. UM plays Weber State, Saturday in Ogden, with a 7:30 p.m. tip-off. Both games can be heard on Missoula's KYLT Radio with Bill Schwanke calling the play-by-play. Montana has won nine straight games, including a Feb. 6 victory over the Athletes in Action Challengers. AIA brought a 24-6 record to Missoula and appeared to be on -more- \ GRIZ MOVE INTO FIRST PLACE TIE IN BIG SKY BASKETBALL— page 2 the way to number 25. But the Grizzlies fought back from a 13 point deficit to squeek out an exciting 88-87 win. The most recent win, against Weber State, was played before the second biggest crowd of the season in Missoula. 8,704 fans witnessed the victory, the fourth time the Grizzlies have attracted more that 8,000 at a home game this season. Although Brandenburg said he will prepare his team for another round with the four corners, he doubts he'll see it as much as last weekend. "We'll be prepared for the four corners. We need to do a better job against it, but I don't think we'll see that much of it on their courts," Brandenburg said. The Grizzlies controlled the boards again this past weekend and hold an 8.9 rebound margin over their opponents this season. Because of the two slow-down games, UM's defensive average has dropped to 62.1 points per game. UM's margin of victory for the season is 7.1 ppg. Northern Arizona has an 8-13 overall mark and a 2-8 Big Sky record. Their two leading scorers, David Henson and Troy Hudson, lead the scoring against Montana last Friday with 13 and 14 points, respectively. Hudson, the team's leading rebounder, had five boards last weekend to pace the Axers. Weber State also split two games last weekend and has a 14-8 overall record. The Wildcats are 6-4 in league play. They have not lost in eleven home games this season. Weber State's leading scorer, Bruce Collins tallied ten points against the Grizzlies last weekend. Richard Smith and Ben Howland picked up 12 points apiece. Smith, a 7-0 sophomore center, also picked off 10 rebounds. Following this road trip, Montana comes home once more, hosting Idaho State and Boise State before closing out the regular season against Utah State in a non-conference game at Logan, Utah. ##.

Beaty, and Ed McPherson, brothers one and all Prologue THE DEFENDER’S EYES grow wide, as they well should. He’s about to face the kind of kinesthetic brilliance that first motivated humans to invent slow- motion technology—something, anything, that would allow them to review exactly what happens when movement plays tricks on the mind. The setting is painfully familiar. Something in the offensive structure has broken down at the other end of the floor, igniting a fast break. The entire defense is retreating. The defender has sprinted back down the floor and, as he turns, he sees the blur. The dark form in red has the ball, dribbling and winding his way through the chaos at great speed. He crosses the ball over from right to left and draws it up in two hands just off his left hip in midstride. At this exact moment, the tongue falls out of his face. Sometimes, it shows just slightly between the teeth, but at this moment, the full tongue drops grotesquely, like some comic doll silently mocking the defender.

  • Fcc Shot Clocks 10, 9, 8… – What Are They Good For? Maybe a Federal Lawsuit
    FCC SHOT CLOCKS 10, 9, 8… – WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR? MAYBE A FEDERAL LAWSUIT By: Thomas A. Shepardson, Esq. Shot clocks are intended to spur action on the part of opposing entities. For example, the National Basketball Association has the 24-second shot clock, and college basketball opted for a shot clock following the University of North Carolina’s four-corners “offense”. Even in chess, players must stop the clock after they make a move. The Federal Communications Commission took this to heart and applied the shot clock concept to approval of personal wireless facilities, thereby turning timeframes for municipal review and approval or disapproval of applications to deploy wireless facilities into a possible federal claim, if not met. In general, Section 332(c)(7) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“Telecommunications Act”) preserves state and local authority over zoning and land use decisions for personal wireless service facilities, but sets forth specific limitations on that authority.1 Specifically, a state or local government may not unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services; may not regulate in a manner that prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services; and must make any denial of an application in writing, supported by substantial evidence in a written record.2 The Act also preempts local decisions premised directly or indirectly on the environmental effects of radio frequency (“RF”) emissions, assuming that the provider is in compliance with the Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”)’s RF rules.3 As further discussed below, however, the primary mechanism affecting state and local authority over personal wireless service facilities is through the shot clock framework.

    GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA 1997 SESSION RATIFIED BILL RESOLUTION 28 SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 414 A JOINT RESOLUTION HONORING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF COACH DEAN EDWARDS SMITH AND THE MEN'S BASKETBALL PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL. Whereas, Dean Edwards Smith was a member of the 1952 Kansas University Jayhawks national championship basketball team and a disciple of Kansas Coach Phog Allen; and Whereas, his loyalty to his alma mater, the University of Kansas, so impressed former head coach Frank McGuire that he offered Smith a job as an assistant coach, which Smith accepted, despite UNC's victory over Smith's beloved Jayhawks in the 1957 NCAA men's basketball championship game; and Whereas, Coach Smith's love for the State of North Carolina and the University of North Carolina has continued to grow since his arrival in Chapel Hill in 1958; and Whereas, Coach Smith and the UNC men's basketball program have constantly been the source of visionary innovation, perfecting such signature practices as the man- to-man trap defense, the team huddle before a free throw, the "tired" signal, the acknowledgment of a teammate's assist, and the "Four Corners" offense that proved so effective that the institution of the shot clock was the only way to combat it; and Whereas, Coach Smith has established a tradition of excellence in the UNC men's basketball program during his 36 years as head coach, winning more conference games, more regular season titles, more ACC Tournament games, more ACC championships and more NCAA tournament

It was as if nobody else had a chance. The Rams were returning several key players from their state championship team. Two of the top players in the state were back in 6’5” Jarvis Williams and 6’4” Karl Godine. The scary thing about this team is even without Williams and Godine, Kashmere would have been one of the top teams in the state. To follow the 1975 season was to follow Kashmere. The numbers they put up were staggering and soon became one of the top teams in the entire country. Many knowledge followers of the game were making strong comparisons to the great Wheatley teams of the past. Would Kashmere lose any games? Would they repeat as state champions? Was it all hype or were they really as strong as advertised? These were the questions that the ‘75 season would answer in exciting fashion.
