UPlayers can wear a plain black or white patch on the shoulder or sleeve of the game jersey to honor the memory of a deceased person. U Numbers must be centered on the game jersey. Teams must be in compliance by the beginning of the 1996-97 season. *A foul shall be ruled intentional if while playing the ball, a player causes excessive contact (hard foul) with an opponent. EThe game clock will be stopped after successful field goals in the last minute of the game and the last minute of any overtime period with no substitutions allowed. The shot clock will not be reset when a defensive player causes a held ball and the possession arrow favors the offensive team. Eliminated the five-second dribbling violation when closely guarded. Expanded the rule concerning the use of profanity to include abusive and obscene language in an effort to curtail verbal misconduct by players and coaches. Determined that any individual who participates in a fight during his team's final game of the season will be suspended from participating in the league's next regular-season game for which that individual would be eligible. After two years of living inside, Michigan will have to make achange. The thrust of the Wolverine of- fense the past two seasons has been getting the ball to Chris Webber down low orpassing it off to Juwan Howard for a baby hook from five feet. This year will be different. "You'll see a lot of play this year with four guys on the perimeter and Juwan Howard being our productive guy inside," Michigan coach Steve Fisher said. Because of a lack of size in the paint, the Wolverine forwards will be counted on more than ever to nail the 15-foot jumper from the corner or the three-pointer from the top of the key. And they must shoot better than a year ago. Although the Wolverines knocked down almost 50 percent of their shots last season, most came from less than 10 feet away. As a team, Michigan shot only 35 percent (seventh in the Big Ten) from beyond the arc. A majority of that scoring punch will have to come from Ray Jackson. The 6-foot-6 forward averaged 9 points and 4.1 rebounds per game a season ago, but picked up his offen- sive production following a shoulder injury that sidelined him for most of January. Jackson's highest-scoring games of the year came during Michigan's NCAA championship run, proving that he could come up with the points when needed. Jackson, who made his name on defense his freshman and sophomore seasons, is now ready to shine on the offensive end and take his game to another level. "I'm just going to step my game up - passing and especially the re- bounding," Jackson said. "Just doing whatever, when we need it. We've got to make up for (the loss of) a 20- point average." Jackson will have to interior on occasions as we will make use of his new 1 muscle, theresult ofsummn "If I get a little fella going to take advantage c least try to," Jackson said While Jimmy King or may often assume posil front court, sophomores ricks (0.8 ppg, 1.3 rpg) Fields, along with roo Saint-Jeanare the only oth forward.
