Kansas History Web Sites History of Basketball Dr. James Naismith, Inventor of Basketball KU Basketball Program Founder 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 schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a "duck" off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith went on to attend McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. After serving as McGill's Athletic Director, James Naismith moved on to 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 Christian 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. James Naismith devised a set of thirteen rules of basketball: The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.

Womens Basketball History "John's been a tremendous supporter of women's basketball," said Nan Elrod, director of programs at the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. Hartford Courant May 20, 2002. Shown above is the first Rule book put out by Spalding in 1901. This rule book was edited by Senda Berenson and would continue to be so until 1917. There is an article by a female doctor that says she beleives a woman game should not allow the "grabbing of the ball" from an opponents hands. Senda places a great amount of effort on the victory. Not the victory of the game, but the victory of one's ability to play their best, regardless of outcome. Some excerpts: The actual rules mention that the size if the court may not exceed 3,500 sq feet. Field shall be divided into 3 equal sections. A team shall not number less than 5 or more then 10. The referee shall put the ball into play by tossing the ball up at the opening og the game, beginning of the second half, AND after each goal. When a ball is caught, the girl may not "Bound" (dribble) it more then 3 times before having to shoot or pass. While only a select few would go on to play for the All American Red Heads or the Edmonton Grads basketball moved across the country and was being played both indoors and outside. The above pictures are a nice example of an outside game when girls still wore bloomers. With what appears to be a tabacco type barn and the hills in the background, this game could have been played in Connecticut or Massachusettes.

The History of BasketBall - Hoops The History of Basketball The History of basketball, a game that started with 18 men in a YMCA gymnasium in Springfield, Mass., has grown into a game that more than 300 million people play worldwide. The man who created this instantly successful sport was Dr. James Naismith. Under orders from Dr. Luther Gulick, head of Physical Education at the School for Christian Workers. Naismith had 14 days to create an indoor game that would provide an "athletic distraction" for a rowdy class through the brutal New England winter.

Basketball Movies - Videos And Coaching Instructional Videos Naismith's invention didn't come easily. Getting close to the deadline, he struggled to keep the class' faith. His first intention was to bring outdoor games indoors, i.e., soccer and lacrosse. These games proved too physical and cumbersome. At his wits' end, Naismith recalled a childhood game that required players to use finesse and accuracy to become successful. After brainstorming this new idea, Naismith developed basketball's original 13 rules and consequently, the game of basketball. As basketball's popularity grew, Naismith neither sought publicity nor engaged in self-promotion. He was first and foremost a physical educator who embraced recreational sport but shied away from the glory of competitive athletics.

History of USA Basketball USA Basketball Committees USA Basketball Staff Bios About USA Basketball FIBA History ... USA Basketball Active, Associate and Affiliate Members The United States joined the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) as a member in 1934 and it was the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) that FIBA first recognized as the organization that was responsible for USA teams in international competitions. Until 1974 when the Amateur Basketball Federation of the United States of America (ABAUSA) which later became USA Basektball was formed, various basketball organizations within the U.S. wrestled for control and recognition from FIBA and the U.S. Olympic Committee. A struggle for control of the USA's international teams developed in the 1960s between the AAU and other U.S. basketball organizations. It was in the early 1960s that an organization known as the Basketball Federation of the USA (BFUSA) was organized and began its push to be recognized by FIBA. Consisting of representatives from the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations (NFSHSAA) and the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), BFUSA continued to push for recognition and support in its effort to replace the AAU as the FIBA recognized basketball federation in the United States.

Coaches Pitt Basketball: In the Beginning Pitt fielded its first basketball team in 1905-06, but it wasn't until the late 1920s and early 1930s that Pitt enjoyed national success. The 1927-28 squad won Pitt's first mythical national title by winning all 20 games, averaging a then phenomenal 38 points per game. The 1929-30 team would repeat as national champion, going 23-2, but the 1927-28 club remains the only five to go undefeated in Pitt history. The star ot those teams was six-foot forward Charley Hyatt, Pitt's first All-America basketball player. A three-time All-American, Hyatt led the nation in scoring twice. During his years in a Pitt uniform, the Panthers were an outstanding 60-7. The center for Pitt's national championship team was Jerry Wunderlich, and the backcourt consisted of Stash Wrobleski and Reed had been teammates at Braddock High School, so Coach Doc Carlson did not have very far to go to recruit players. According to The Owl (the Pitt Yearbook), the 1927-28 Panthers were "universally recognized as national champions, having hung up the best collegiate record in the country."

He was a Presbyterian minister (but never preached) and a doctor (but never practiced medicine) and an educator and physical education teacher and a basketball coach. He was born in Almonte, Ontario of Scottish ancestry  so this great American (and now worldwide) sport was invented by a Canadian, with a Scottish accent! He was a thirty year-old assistant physical education director when he invented the game. He only played in two games! The first baskets were not peach baskets as the story often goes, but were vegetable baskets nailed to the railing of an elevated circular running track, which just happened to be about 9 or 10 feet high. He eventually became head of the physical education department at Kansas, and designed the first golf course in Kansas. His favorite sport was fencing and he was very good at it. He invented basketball for fun, as a simple physical education activity not something to be serious about! He said often, "Basketball is just a game to play. It doesn’t need a coach you don’t coach basketball, you just play it." Nevertheless, he became basketball coach at Kansas in 1900, and lost his first game 48-8 to Nebraska. He coached for eight years and his won-loss record was barely .500. But he started a great Kansas tradition. For years, the Kansas Jayhawks had one of the most winning programs in all of college basketball. Phog Allen (Kansas, record: 590-219), Adolph Rupp (Kentucky), and Dean Smith (North Carolina) were all Jayhawks.
