Holding or grabbing an opposing player away from the ball becamefouls, as did illegal screens.^[3]

Season headlines

[edit]

Prior to the beginning of the season,NCAA Division I replaced theNCAA University Division as the subdivision of the NCAA made up of colleges and universities competing at the highest level of college sports. In addition,NCAA Division II andNCAA Division III replaced theNCAA College Division for colleges and universities competing at a lower level, with Division II consisting of schools awarding limitedathletic scholarships and Division III consisting of schools offering no athletic scholarships.^[4]
On August 5, 1973, the NCAA handed down a two-year "death penalty" (i.e., ban on competing) to theUniversity of Southwestern Louisiana (now theUniversity of Louisiana at Lafayette; athletically branded "Louisiana" sincethe 1999–2000 season) after discovering over 100 rules violations, the most egregious of which were payments to players and falsified high school transcripts. All other Ragin' Cajun teams were placed on four years' probation and banned from competing for national championships during that period. The NCAA also proposed expelling the university from the organization, but that penalty was reduced to forfeiture of voting rights at the annual convention for three years. Additionally, the Ragin' Cajuns' participation in the1972 and1973 University Division tournaments was scrubbed from the record books, and the university was required to return all tournament revenue. Southwestern Louisiana became the first university to have a season cancelled by the NCAA sinceKentucky inthe 1952–53 season.
In 1973, the first public draw for tickets to theNCAA tournament'sFinal Four games took place. The tickets were for the1974 Final Four.^[5]
In thePacific 8 Conference,UCLA won its eighth of what would ultimately be 13 consecutive conference titles.
To compete with theNational Invitation Tournament, the NCAA created the Collegiate Commissioners Association Tournament as a new postseason tournament which debuted in 1974. Renamed theNational Commissioners Invitational Tournament the following season, it lasted only two years.
