~ restrictions will be placed on
the pivot play in basket ball
within the next year. Coach Nelson
Norgren of Chicago predicted today

seems certain that some legislation
will be taken on the pivot play"
Coach NOrgren said. Something
has to be done. many coaches be-
lieve. because there is too much foul
ing on this play and because it puts
a premium on big men. One sug-
gestion that the pivot man be re-
quired to take his position on or in
front of the free throw line had lots
of support until it was pointed out
that such a rule would make it diff
cult to break up zone defense"
