Steps for a Short AND Tall Campus Club

A collegiate or high school club is ideally suited for Short AND Tall.

STEP 1 FORM CLUB

Start a campus club with at least two dozen students. The founders recruit at least 50 more members of random heights to increase Availability for practice squads. Print a copy of Regis to record members.

STEP ASSIGN UNITS

Judge males who stand taller than 72 inches or women above 66 3/4 inches for "Units" 1, 2, 3 or 4. Players beneath the top of the lowest of four marks on a wall are zero Units.

STEP 3PRACTICE SQUADS

Observe the tallness allowance of five Units while allocating the entire membership to practice squads, which combine abilities and tallness.

STEP 4 TALLNESS

The complete five-Unit tallness allowance, an obvious goal, is far from automatic.
Populations of people tend to cluster at "just tall," those of only one height Unit. Few more are only an inch or two above the 20%-80% divider. A club may include very few students of more than one Unit, and any taller membership may lack sufficient hoopability. The campus club plays second fiddle to the basketball varsity.
