HISTORY OF BASKET BALL

The Early Years of Basketball

    Father of Basketball: Basketball, uniquely Canadian American in origin, was invented by Dr. James Naismith.

Year with Date of Invented: on December 21, 1891,

Place of the Invented Game:  The YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Five Players Per team and its reaching Internally: The number of players on a team varied, but by 1897, five players per team became the standard.

The game spread internationally, reaching countries like France (1893), England (1894), India, and China soon after.

The YMCA played a crucial role in popularizing the sport, but overcrowded gyms led to its ban in many associations, prompting the game's move to independent halls and eventual professionalization.

 

Key Developments in the U.S.

• High School and College Basketball: U.S. high school and college basketball evolved from a slow, methodical game into a fast-paced, high-scoring affair. Early tactics relied on stalling, which resulted in low-scoring games. To address this, rule changes were introduced, including:
• The 10-second rule (1932–33) to advance the ball past midcourt.
• The elimination of the center jump after each basket (1937–38).
• The introduction of the 45-second shot clock (1985) and the three-point line (1986), which revolutionized the game’s pace and scoring.

Professional Basketball
Professional basketball flourished with the rise of the National Basketball Association (NBA), which was founded in 1946.
