2007-012.D597PDescription
Saint Martin's College Basketball, 1980. These seventeen black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using three separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are repeated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to the film roll from which they originally came. Each group will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images.
The images in group "a" show the Saint Martin's basketball team playing a game in Marcus Pavilion and having a team meeting, likely during a game's halftime. Images 38a and 39a show a game in progress. Image 40a is a blurry shot of what appears to be the wood floor of the basketball court. Images 41a and 42a show a seated coach surrounded by standing players. This images was captured at courtside. Images 43a through 44a and 1a through 14a show a game underway. Images 15a through 20a show a team meeting taking place in a room with concrete brick walls. Images 21a through 32a show a game in progress.
The images in group "b" show a typed list of motivational points hung on a wall, players stretching, being medically treated and having meetings in the locker rooms in Marcus Pavilion. Images 36b through 38b show three pieces of paper hung on a wall. A portion of a piece of paper at the top of the images reads "10. "Thou shalt not envy the success of another player, but rather... (the rest of this sentence is cut off)." Just below this on the same piece of paper is "** Attention coaches: If any of these Commandments fail in their task... Just calmy (sic) bring aside each player, and kick their ass..." A second, full piece of paper lists interpretations of how "winners" behave, in contrast to "losers." A third, partially visible piece of paper at the bottom appears to list proficiency goals for the players. Image 39b shows a player stretching. Image 40b shows a man wrapping a player's ankle. Image 41b shows two seated men talking. The man on the left is holding up what appears to be a small microphone to his mouth. Image 42b shows a player stretching. Image 43b shows two players seated next to each other on a bench. Images 44b and 1b through 3b show a team meeting. Images 4b and 6b show team members gathered together in a tight group. Image 7b shows players warming up on the court.
