BASKETBALL

HISTORY OF BASKETBALL
DR. JAMES NAISMITH

• Is known world wide as the inventor


of basketball. He was born in 1861 in
Ramsay, Township, near Almonte,
Ontario, Canada.
• The concept of basketball was born
from Naismith’s school days in the
area where he played a simple child’s
game known as duck-on-a-rock
outside his one room shool house.
• The game involved attempting to
knock a “duck” off the top of a large
rock by tossing another rock it.
Naismith went on to attend McGill
University on Montreal, Quebec,
Canada.
• After serving as McGill’s Athletic
Director, James Naismith moved on
the YMCA Training School in
Springfield, Massachusetts, USA in
1891, where the sport of Basketball
was born.
• In Springfield, Naismith was faced
with the problem of finding a sport
that was suitable for play inside
during the Massachusetts winter for
the students at the School for
Christians Workers.
• Naismith wanted to create a game of skill
for the students instead of one that relied
solely on strength. He needed a game that
could be played indoors in a relatively
small space. The first game was played
with a soccer ball and two peach baskets
used as goals.
THIRTEEN RULES OF
BASKETBALL
• By DR. James Naismith
1. The ball may be thrown in any
direction with one both hands.
2. The ball may be batted in any
direction with one or both hands,
but never with the fist.
3. A player cannot run with the ball.
The player must throw it from the spot
on which he catches it, allowance to be
made for running a man running at
good speed.
3. A player cannot run with the ball.
The player must throw it from the spot
on which he catches it, allowance to be
made for running a man running at
good speed.
4. The Ball must be held on or between
the hands. The arms or body must not
be used for holding it.
5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, or
striking or tripping in any way of an
opponent. The first infringement of
this rule by any person shall count as
foul; the second ball shall disqualify
him until the next goals is made or, if
there was evident intent to injure the
person, for the whole of the game.
6. A foul striking at the ball with the
fist, violations of Rules 3 and 4 and
such as described in Rule 5.
7. If either side make three consecutive
fouls it shall count as a goal for the
opponents (consecutive means
without the opponents in the
meantime making a foul).
8. Goals shall be made when the ball is
thrown or batted from the ground into
the basket and stays there, providing
those defending the goal do not touch
or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on
the edge and the opponents move the
basket, it shall count as goal.
9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it
shall be thrown into the field and played
by the first person touching it. In case of
dispute the umpire shall throw it straight
into the field. The thrower- in is allowed
five seconds. If he holds it longer, it shall
go to the opponent. If any side persists
in delaying the game, the umpire shall
call a foul on them.
10. The umpire shall be judge of the
men and shall note the fouls and notify
the referee when three consecutive
fouls have been made. He shall have
the power to disqualify men according
to Rule 5.
11. The referee shall be the judge of
the ball and decide when it is in play in
bounds, to which side it belongs, and
shall keep the time. He shall decide
when a goal has been made and keep
account of the goals with any other
duties that are usually performed by a
referee.
12. The time shall be two 15-minute
halves with five minutes rest between.
13. The side making the most goals in
that time shall be declared the
winners. In addition to the creation of
the basketball, James Naismith
graduated as a medical doctor,
primarily interested in sports
physiology and what we would today
call sport science and as Presbyterian
minister, with a keen interest in
philosophy and clean living.
• In 1893 Naismith watched his sport,
basketball, introduced in many
nations by the YMCA.
• Basketball was introduced at the
Berlin Olympics in 1936. Today,
basketball has grown to become one
of the world’s most popular sports.
BASKETBALL 101
• Basketball is a running game. This
means that the player must be
continually moving, but not always at
high speed. In basketball a player uses
3 kinds of movements- walk, run and
spirit. The use of explosive speed
(sprinting), when required, is much
more important. In the main game a
player should walk and sprint more
than run.
