Knight criticizes foul rules 3-Point shot Nashville Tenn. A Indiana coach Bobby Knight complained tuesday about what he perceives As College Basket Ball s ills including the three Point shot and antiquated foul rules. If there were one thing that i would change in the Structure of College Basket Ball it would probably be the foul situation Don t think the players should foul out Knight said. He said College basketball allowed four fouls per player until the 1940s, when a a Fth foul was allowed before an athlete fouled out of a game. We be gone 40 years with five fouls. At the same time with the same number of fouls the abilities of athletes who play the game have increased tremendously he said. There s a Point where i think we be not kept up with what s happening in the game. I would give another foul at least a sixth foul to the game and maybe even any foul after that committed by that person was an automatic two shot foul Knight said Dur ing a news conference at Vanderbilt univer sity where he was to address a dinner Gath ering. He also criticized the three Point shot. I honestly think that Rule helps people who have Good shooters and hurts people who Don t have Good shooters. Consequently i Don t particularly like to see a Rule go into effect that does t have the same effect on All teams he said. Next season will Mark the first time that the three Point Rule has been used by All College teams. Until now various conferences had experimented with it. The big ten conference had the three Point shot two seasons ago and Indiana guard Steve Alford was one of the league s Best outside shooters.

My thought has always been a very Sim ple one College is not for everyone. Col lege in t for you if you Aren t a pretty Good Reader and a pretty Good writer. In athletics we really Haven t understood that Over the years he said at the luncheon. We have tried to take people who really Are not bonafide College students and make College students out of them. They never become bonafide College  Knight also said College teams Are play ing too Many games. You Are talking about Duke just having played 40 games. It could be possible for a team.
