we can get it off the ground,” he said.
“If the administration feels like it is a
solid organization, they could move
it up to varsity level.”
Stutheit said wheelchair'"basket
ball had a few different rules from
regular basketball.
Wheelchair players, he said, got
five seconds in the free throw lane
instead of three. Wheelchair players
have 15 seconds instead of 10 to get
the ball across half court. Also, wheel
chair players can get two pushes for
one dribble of the ball before a travel
ing violation is called.
Stutheit said the game had an
equalizing rule.
Teams, he said, must have five
players on the floor equal to a maxi
mum of 12 points. Points, he said,
were given based on balance and
mobility of each player. The most

able-bodied players, he said, were
given three points. Both Stutheit and
Kingery- are two-pointers.
“The number has nothing to do
with ability,” Stutheit said. “It makes
teams more equal and allows smaller
teams to be competitive.”
Although Stutheit will probably
have graduated by the time the sport
could move up to the varsity level, he
said he would still like to be one of the
people responsible for getting it started.
Kingery said he wasn’t sure if he
would be at UNL to see the beginning
of his goal, either.
“I have a chance to go to a school
in Minnesota as a scholarship athlete
next year,” he said. “I’ll have to see^
how far we get with the team here
before making any decisions.”
Stutheit said the team could bring
more wheelchair users to UNL.
“If we can get this program going,”
he said, “we’ll draw more wheelchair
users here who may not go to college
otherwise.”

Nebraska’s success and the strength
ening of the Big Eight Conference
overall have helped the Huskcrs gain
exposure, he said.
Nee said the Big Eight’s appear
ance on ESPN’s “Big Monday” —
the cable network’s self-entitled bas
ketball showcase— brought national
attention to basketball in the Mid
west. Nebraska appeared on “Big
Monday” twice this season.

Since we’ve come
here, we’ve been
trying to build this
winning tradition.
Getting to the NCAA
two years in a row is I
helping solidify the
tradition.

Despite the success of the past two
years, Nebraska must reach for new
heights, Nee said.
“The next step is trying to get a
winning game in the NCAA Tourna
ment and advancing,” he said.
“Another step is being in conten
tion the last week of the season, get
ting to the finals of the Big Eight
Tournament like wc did a year ago or
winning the conference.”
Nee said it wouldn't be easy to
reach that next plateau.
“That next step is a giant, giant
step,” he said.
Instead, Nee said, Nebraska must
be content to gain a little at a lime.
“I think you lake it in small half
steps,” he said. “I don’t think you just
move to that level.
“A lot of things have to happen,
but we’re certainly pointed in that
direction.”
