Basketball History in the Making
The history of basketball paved the way to a lot of
significant events and people who made countless
contributions for the evolution of basketball. Thanks
to the very efforts of its founder, Dr. James
Naismith, an instructor and a student in a Canadian
school, basketball came into being.
Early History
It is said that the first court for basketball was
situated in a YMCA Training School now known as
Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts. Dr.
Naismith needed something to pump up the energy level
of his students and put them in proper shape as winter
came.
He had numerous ideas but then after realizing how
poor it suited the gymnasiums, he decided to establish
the rules first. His idea of the first ring is a peach
basket that is nailed on a 10-foot elevated track. But
this peach basket didn’t have a hole at the bottom.
That’s why balls have to be manually retrieved every
once in a while every time the ball had hit a score.
However, this proved to be tiring and inefficient for
proper and fun gaming. Due to this, he decided to poke
a hole into the bottom for the ball to go down
whenever it is shot through it.
The ball that was used was the soccer ball. Whenever
the ball gets into the basket, a point is given to the
entire team. The team who has the most number of
points wins.
This basket was used until the year 1906. On that
year, they replaced the basket with hoops made of
metal and supported by backboards. As this proved to
be more convenient for the ball just literally passed
through the hoops, it was adapted until now.
According to the handwritten diary by Dr. Naismith, he
became nervous with his game for he fret that it would
fail like those that he did before. It also said that
he associated the rules from the game Duck on a Rock
that is typically a children’s game. After which he
named the game as Basket Ball.
Basketball’s Firsts
It was during January 20, 1892 that the first game was
officially played and was held at the gymnasium of
YMCA. The game comprised 9 players and had a 1-0
result. This winning shot was made at a 25 feet
measurement and the court was only half the size of
the present day NBA court.
Basketball was not only meant for men. Women also
indulged in the sport. The first women basketball game
was held in Smith College during the year 1892. Senda
Berenson, also a physical education teacher like
Naismith modified some of the rules that were intended
for women.
She also organized the first basketball women’s
collegiate game that was on March 1893. Her freshmen
women played against the sophomore women. She then
became fascinated by the values and skills the sport
could impart.
YMCA was wholly responsible for the development and
spread of the game. By 1895, it reached Canada and
parts of the US that was then adapted at some high
school for women.
The National Basketball League, known as the very
first pro basketball league, was established in 1898.
The league’s responsibility is to protect the players
from being exploited and make it safer for the benefit
of its members. However, this lasted for only 5 years.
Since these evolutions, basketball had been widely
accepted and had become the new trend in sports.

NCAA Tournament Pools
Bracket Strategies for the Basketball Season ‘08
There are a lot of predictions to get through the
trend of picking the right 16 teams to fill out the
brackets. Okay. Make a wild educated guess. Pick one
team. Any team. Make sure that it will come out after
March Madness ends. Can you do that? Of course you
can!
That is, if you make every decision a very precise
one. You can’t keep on trusting your instincts or toss
a coin and depend your answer on that. Well, science
was based on theories but they have allotted so much
time digging into those researches before constructing
an elaborate definition of one word that can still be
objected in due time. This can also be applied to NCAA
basketball.
So here’s the deal. You want to take home the big
bucks. And you have a really good team at the end of
your bracket. Question is, are those teams ideal? As a
lot of people say, wagers made for the sake of
entertainment are most likely illegal. And yet, who’s
talking? Think about that and reflect on these
strategies.
Think Before They Do
Go against time. Better yet, think as they would then
counter on it. Before the games begin, you have to
have a clear idea what will happen if you have chosen
the seeds who were appropriate enough to battle out
with the weaker ones. It is definitely a good choice
to make the good seeds go first just to settle the
odds. That would be a good move, and is definitely the
right decision because most people would think about
that kind of method.
But if you could’ve played it like a chess player
would, that might be the solution. Pick certain
upsets. Be sure these upsets won’t destroy the bracket
if guesses were wrong. In this manner, you are not
risking so much for so little.
Tournament pools are most likely to award points, with
every round, those points increases. From 2, you could
gain 16 every round once your bracket reached the
elite eight. If the following rounds are equivalent to
more points, you can accumulate them by trying to
maintain a team playing in the following weeks.
Know Your Opponent
You are not competing against the basketball team
themselves. It’s that accountant on 10th floor that
you made a deal with you have to look forward to. Know
what team he would prefer. This will enable you to
maximize chances of being one step ahead. Scouting the
opposition is not a bad idea.
Base on the History
If a particular team had been seeded to be in the
number one seed, there could’ve been a very good
reason why the top seeds remain on top. Look on the
brighter side; you have more chances of winning than
losing.
Note one more thing: luck would be on your side if you
have figured out the teams who have dominated the
enormous conferences.
Be confident and less intimidated
Being intimidated is a big downfall on your part. So
what if your opponent keeps on claiming that he knows
his team inside and out? People who have such a very,
very high level of self-confidence tends to over think
the situation thus not considering what problems may
come at hand.
Yes, be confident but not overconfident. Even though
you have known the team you have included in your
bracket, and even if you know how strong your team is
going, you never have to underestimate the bets of
your opponent. Do not be the person that was just
described above.

International Basketball Regulations
Basketball is a contact team sport played by 12-15
members but only 5 players each team are allowed to go
inside the court at a time and play the game. Others
who are left on the sides are substitutes. It was
first played in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891. It
can either be played indoors or outdoors. And the name
was derived from shooting the ball inside a basket
which is known as the ring.
Basketball, like every game, has its certain rules and
regulations that are needed to propel an exciting and
organized game. The time that was introduced varies
from one organization and tournament to another.
Wherein this article will discuss the rules and
regulations used during international section.
Objective
The main objective of the game is to outrun scores.
This is done by shooting the ball through the
opponent’s basket while preventing opposing team to
score or get a hold of the ball. Attempting to score
is called a shooting. Two points will be equivalent to
one shot while 3 points happens when a shot is taken
6.25 meters from the basket basing on the
international aspect.
Regulations
Time
An international basketball game lasts about 2 hours.
Within this time, there would be 4 quarters of playing
time of 10 minutes every quarter. Add the 15 minutes
that are allotted for half-time break and the other 2
minutes for the other quick breaks. At the end of the
second quarter, teams change baskets. Time is stopped
when the game is not active or when certain problems
arise while the game is at play.
Time-outs would typically last not more than a minute.
This also applies for clock stoppages. Time-outs are
used for short meet ups with players when the coach
wants to emphasize something important.
Team
A basketball roster is comprised of 12 players. And
the game is played by two opposing team. In each team,
out of the 12 members, only 5 are allowed to actually
play inside the court each time. So technically, you
would see 10 people inside the court battling it out
for one ball. Teams have their own coach who gives out
strategies and developments of the team. More like a
teacher at the side of the court. Aside from the
coach, the team also has its own personnel like
assistant coaches, statisticians, managers, trainers
and in case of emergency, a doctor.
Attire
This goes for both men and women. The standard uniform
that everyone should follow is a pair of comfortable
shorts and jersey. Printed at the front and back of
the jersey, the player’s number should be visible
enough for everyone to see. Sneakers are high-top to
provide ankle support. Aside from these, you’ll also
notice that the team’s name, sponsors and player’s
name is printed.
Game Officials
Officials calling the shots are consisted with the
referees, two umpires, and table officials. Table
officials are the ones who are responsible for
recording scoring, substitutions, timekeeping, team
and individual fouls, and the shot clock.
Equipment
Two of the most important equipments that are needed
for a basketball game to be in session are the court
and the ball itself. The court looks rectangular and
flat with two baskets at the opposite sides. This will
be enough for freestyle basketball. But in competitive
areas, the requirements are more complicated.
Equipments needed aside from the court and ball are
the score sheets, possession arrows, clocks,
scoreboards and clock systems that are operated by the
table officials.

first played in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1891. It
can either be played indoors or outdoors. And the name
was derived from shooting the ball inside a basket
which is known as the ring.
Basketball, like every game, has its certain rules and
regulations that are needed to propel an exciting and
organized game. The time that was introduced varies
from one organization and tournament to another.
Wherein this article will discuss the rules and
regulations used during international section.
Objective
The main objective of the game is to outrun scores.
This is done by shooting the ball through the
opponent’s basket while preventing opposing team to
score or get a hold of the ball. Attempting to score
is called a shooting. Two points will be equivalent to
one shot while 3 points happens when a shot is taken
6.25 meters from the basket basing on the
international aspect.
Regulations
Time
An international basketball game lasts about 2 hours.
Within this time, there would be 4 quarters of playing
time of 10 minutes every quarter. Add the 15 minutes
that are allotted for half-time break and the other 2
minutes for the other quick breaks. At the end of the
second quarter, teams change baskets. Time is stopped
when the game is not active or when certain problems
arise while the game is at play.
Time-outs would typically last not more than a minute.
This also applies for clock stoppages. Time-outs are
used for short meet ups with players when the coach
wants to emphasize something important.
Team
A basketball roster is comprised of 12 players. And
the game is played by two opposing team. In each team,
out of the 12 members, only 5 are allowed to actually
play inside the court each time. So technically, you
would see 10 people inside the court battling it out
for one ball. Teams have their own coach who gives out
strategies and developments of the team. More like a
teacher at the side of the court. Aside from the
coach, the team also has its own personnel like
assistant coaches, statisticians, managers, trainers
and in case of emergency, a doctor.
Attire
This goes for both men and women. The standard uniform
that everyone should follow is a pair of comfortable
shorts and jersey. Printed at the front and back of
the jersey, the player’s number should be visible
enough for everyone to see. Sneakers are high-top to
provide ankle support. Aside from these, you’ll also
notice that the team’s name, sponsors and player’s
name is printed.
Game Officials
Officials calling the shots are consisted with the
referees, two umpires, and table officials. Table
officials are the ones who are responsible for
recording scoring, substitutions, timekeeping, team
and individual fouls, and the shot clock.
Equipment
Two of the most important equipments that are needed
for a basketball game to be in session are the court
and the ball itself. The court looks rectangular and
flat with two baskets at the opposite sides. This will
be enough for freestyle basketball. But in competitive
areas, the requirements are more complicated.
Equipments needed aside from the court and ball are
the score sheets, possession arrows, clocks,
scoreboards and clock systems that are operated by the
table officials.

History of BasketBall
The history of basketball finds it way back to the year 1891. It was a Canadian physical education instructor by the name of James Naismith who introduced the game of basketball to the world. He was born in Ontario and taught physical education at McGill University and Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts. James Naismith, during his stint with Springfield College, a YMCA training school during that time, invented the indoor sport with able support and guidance from the American phys-ed specialist Luther Hasley.
The game commenced with 18 men at Springfield College in Massachusetts. Naismith was given a deadline of 14 days to create an indoor game that would provide “an athletic distraction” (in the words of Hasley) to the nasty and disorderly class. It was a tough call for Naismith, who had to exercise a lot of patience and infuse positive enthusiasm into the minds of his students to engage in an outdoor game that was to be played indoors in the best way possible. He recalled a game he used to play as a child and improvised on its concept.
Naismith was instrumental in laying down 13 rules for the basketball game. The rules stated that the ball should be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. He made it clear that a person could not run with the ball. The player should throw it from the place from which he caught the ball in the first place. Players had to refrain from using the fist when handling or batting the ball. He had termed shouldering, holding, tripping, pushing or striking in any way of an opponent as a foul in the first instance. If things of this nature happened the second time, the person who caused the infringement of the rule would be disqualified or would not be substituted at all. If any side made three consecutive fouls, it was to be counted as a goal for the opposing side.
Naismith also made it clear that if the ball went out of bounds, it had to be thrown into the field of play by the person touching it. This player had the right to hold the ball for only five seconds. If held longer, the chance to throw went to the opposing side. He gave special importance to the umpire who had to judge the player and report to the referee when players made three consecutive fouls. He defined the time period of the game as being comprised of two fifteen-minute halves with fifteen minutes breaks in between. Naismith concluded that the side making the most goals was to be termed as winner.
The game caught the fancy of the YMCA class and the popularity of the game grew, though Naismith quietly shied away from taking any credit for his invention. He wanted the game to be enjoyed as a recreational activity, but he never imagined that the game would soon develop into a passionate and intensely competitive sport. Naismith’s moment of glory came, however, when he was invited by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) to witness basketball become an Olympic sport at the 1936 games in Berlin. He passed away in 1939 and since then the game has grown in fame and prosperity the world over. In 1959, James Naismith entered the Basketball Hall of Fame (called the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame)
The first formal rules for the game were introduced in 1895. It was not until 1897 that teams of five players on each side became standard in the history of basketball. Iron hoops and a hammock style basket came into existence in 1893. A decade later, open-ended nets came into existence, which did away with the practice of manually retrieving the ball from the basket each time a goal was made. After the end of World War II, there was a need to infuse sports entertainment into the large sports arenas during the times not occupied by pro hockey and college basketball games. This gave rise to the history of basketball in its pure, professional championship format.
Walter Brown of Boston introduced professional basketball in the form of the Basketball Association of America in the summer of 1946. The esteemed members of the new league were New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington, Detroit, Chicago, Providence, Toronto, St. Louis, and Boston. The league played in big arenas in large cities but the players were not as talented as the ones in the National Basketball League, the recognized league operating chiefly in smaller cities in the Midwest. However, some people from the NBL joined the fray and the strength of B.A.A picked up as college stars and fresh young talent entered the league. The regular season started and the Washington Capitols were the clear winners in the Eastern Division, with the Philadelphia Warriors taking second place and the New York Knickerbockers grabbing the third and final playoff spot.
The Western Division had the Chicago Stags narrowly edging out the St.Louis Bombers with a one-gain tiebreaker at the end of the regular season. The Cleveland Rebels acquired the third playoff spot. The playoff system devised by the league pitted the first ranking teams, the second ranking teams and the third ranking teams against each other in the opening round. The games began with the Stags usurping the Caps in six games and Philadelphia outdoing St. Louis in a three-game showdown of second-place finishers, while New York defeated Cleveland in three games in the third bracket. The Warriors defeated the Knicks to move into the finals with the Stags.
The finals of the first championship of BAA (the present day NBA) opened in Philadelphia with Joe Fulks scoring 37 points, leading his Warriors to a victory against the Stags. Though the Stags won the fourth game, the Warriors won the overall title with an 83-80 victory with a 34-point contribution from Fulks. Howie Dallmar is credited with hitting the winning basket to break an 80-80 tie, with only a minute left before the finish of the game.
The history of Basketball has witnessed a lot of landmark events that have increased the popularity of the game to dizzying heights. It is almost a second religion to the sport-loving people in the US. No doubt, basketball is heralded as a sport that gives a healthy balance to the physical, mental and spiritual state. This is truly the game that keeps you on your toes!
