3 Introduction Beginning with the 1961 season, a more or less systematic attempt at maintaining basketball statistics has been in place at North Iowa High School. Since 1961 and through the completion of the 08 season, NIHS had four boys basketball head coaches. Every coach has his own preferences and emphases in regard to how rigorous the statistical review of each game or each season or each career should be. The compilation that follows is, therefore, limited not only by my own lack of accounting skills but also by the inevitable difficulty in articulating one coach s statistical system with the next. For example, one of the four head coaches previously mentioned did not want to highlight blocked shots or steals statistically because he felt that, when players were unsuccessful in either case, their failed attempt would place the team defense in jeopardy. Hence, he did not record the data for these areas during his tenure at NIHS. Another issue with respect to individual career statistics involves a number of athletes who, through no fault of their own, were compelled to complete their careers as juniors or seniors at NIHS after having already compiled varsity statistics at Rake, Lakota, Thompson, or Titonka. It was my decision (don t blame anybody else) to limit their numbers to those involving just competition for B-C-R or B-C-R-L or North Iowa High School in these pages. Subsequently, there are some inevitable gaps and holes and unavoidable deletions, which we hope the readers can accept if they venture onward from this point. Special thanks to Merlyn Thorson, who after his last season as head coach here in 1973-1974, produced a compilation of data from 1961 to 1974. For some statistical categories the available records did not include basketball seasons dating back to 1961. Accordingly, note that, for many of the lists, more recent starting points are given. Also, special thanks to the staff, students, and friends who graciously accepted the task of recording game statistics behind our sweaty, noisy, heel-marked bench over these many years.

9 About 3-Point Field Goals The three-point field goal was instituted by the IHSAA for the 82-83 season. The ark has remained at 19 9 for Iowa high school players from that initial season through the statistical coverage final season 07-08. It was my choice to make one category for three-point attempts and another category for all field goal attempts (both 2-point attempts and those beyond 19 9 ). This seems to be a standard operating procedure for most programs. It would be possible to compute a separate category for two-point field goal attempts only, but it seems to be an uncommon practice.
