Rapids Pacers; and Dave Kiley, Casa Colina Condors.

Ka rr has selected Frank Burns of UW-Whitewater as his assistant. The pai r have successfully directed two gold medal winning teams in the past two years - the Pan Ame r ican Wheelchair Games in 1982 and the Gold Cup Championships in 1983. Earlier they had teamed up to head the U.S. team that toured Japan in 1981 . As a coach i ng duo, they have yet to lose a game in international competition. They will make the final selection of players for the 1984 team from among the 20 to be invited to the NWBA try­out camp. The site of the camp has yet to be determined .

The committee appointed to select the head coach was made up of Dan OeDee , Assistant Commissioner for the Southern California Conference; Joe Gomez, AC fo r the Rocky Mountain Conference; Ray Lorberter , President of the Lake Michigan Conference; Angelo Nicosia , AC for the Eastern Confe r ence; Al Youakim, AC for the Nor theastern Conference ; and Marvin Lapicola , President of the NWBA who served as Chairman .

SUMMARY OF OFFICIALS TESTING

This is the first opportunity we have had to convey to the membership information related to t he official s examination administered last fall.

Herewich is Jim ' s brief summary of the data .

-More than 300 responses were received through the 1st week in January. 86% of chese passed with a score of 26 or better .

-Question 28, which referred to the recent NCAA rule revision on free throws in the last 2 minutes of a game, was not used as a determining factor between pass or fail .

-All respondants were mailed the results of their exam , i ncluding the questions missed and their status in regard to post season officiating.

A more detailed analysis will be presented at the annual meeting along with recommendations for unproving the process by Smith and Olson . OFFICIALS APPROBATED

36th NW8T ARRANCEMENTS

Joe Greve and Chuck Wilson, Co- Dir ectors of the 36th NWBT to be held in Kansas City, Harch 30 and 31, report that everything is falling into place to make the event and the annual meeting a memorable time for everyone. They have gone to great lengths to make it convenient and affordable for the general membership of the NWBA . Team representatives. coaches and others affiliated with the sport are encouraged t o make the trip to Kansas City to take it all in . Although only two representatives for each team are allowed to vote during the annual meeting , others can attend and take part in the discussions and debates.

Admission to each day's games is only $1.00 per person; the banquet that follows the championship game is only $20.00 per person; and room rates are reasonably priced at $35 . 00 for a single and $41.00 for a double . It's t he best bargain to come down the pike in some time!

If anyone drives to Kansas City in a recreational vehicle - i.e . motor home - contact Joe Greve before March 13 to find out what to do abo ut parking.

NWBA TEAMS RACK UP AMAZING SCORE

The final score was 105 to 101 with the Wheelers on top. The score at the end of regulation time was 63-63 . Dick Christianson playing coach for the Wheelers led the scoring with 38 points.
