Apparently Bob and I use the same book (Official 1992 NCAA Basketball)!
For those of you interested in getting it (the 1992 version was printed
in October of 1991, so we are close to the point where the 1993 edition
should be available), it costs $7.95 (add $3.00 if you want it mailed
first-class).  Write to:

	NCAA Publishing		You can also call 913-339-1900 to place 
	P. O. Box 7347		credit card orders (Visa/Mastercard).
	Overland Park, Kansas
	66207-0347

The book includes individual, season, career, coaching, and Final Four
records and stats for men's and women's Division I, II, and III teams.
It also has the previous year team's records plus their upcoming 
schedules.

Well, I *could* say that the NCAA chose 1973 since it marked the 
beginning of the Dr. J Era (it was my freshman year in college) but
I don't really think they had that in mind.  There were no major rule
changes affecting rebounds that I am aware of in 1973.  I suspect they
simply wanted to define a "modern" era, and somewhat arbitrarily picked
1973 (which was 20 years prior to publication of their book.  Maybe 
they liked round numbers).

My almanac lists a Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma - it has about
5000 students.  I've never heard of it as a Division I school, but maybe
it was, millions of years ago.  No clue regarding what Southern-B.R.
means...

Maybe because there are other agencies than government which can do
either, better?   Whenever I see "we" used in this way, I know what
it means - taxes.  I'd rather spend my money on basketball...
