: Went to MBB practice this morning. Starts at
: 7am. Geez, it's tough getting up that early.
:
: Nonpersonnel observations: They have 2 new
: pieces of equipment. One is a computer
: program called NOAH that views a shooter,
: computes his height and gives a recommended
: degree of arch to his shot. 44% seemed to be
: the recommended for Phelps and Plater. It
: talks to you and tells you what % each shot
: was and you can print out shots and archive
: shots, etc. This is for both free throws and
: FGs. My explanation is probably not doing it
: justice.The other has to do with the
: backboards.
:
: Picture the backboard and the rubber around
: the edges. Well inboard of that behind the
: glass is a neon light that turns on a red
: light for the entire edge of the rectangle
: of the backboard when a period is ended or
: if the shotclock expires. It is really neat.
:
: Also, on top of the backboard there used to
: be a single shotclock that faced the court.
: Now there is a triangular clock that shows
: the time in three different directions.
:
: Personnel observations: Wilson is walking
: around carrying his cructhes and not using
: them. Montgomery is around doing exercises.
: Nevens still apparently not cleared to play.
:
: Some Fullerton fan I know called me last
: night and said that he had heard that one of
: our verbals had decommitted. Talked to one
: of the coaches and pooh-poohed that comment.
