Basketball
Early History
A physical education teacher named James Naismith invented basketball in 1891. He needed a sport for his students to play inside during the winter months. Naismith nailed a peach basket to each end of a high rail. Players tried to throw a soccer ball into the basket. Now, hoops are used instead of peach baskets.
Rules of the Game
James Naismith wrote the original rules for basketball a few years later. Players were not allowed to carry the ball down the court. Instead, they had to pass, or toss, the ball down the court. Dribbling was introduced in later years. Players were also not allowed to push or hit each other. Breaking game rules is called a foul.
The First College Basketball Game
In 1896, the University of Iowa played against the University of Chicago. This was the first college basketball game using five players on each team. In 1940, a college basketball game was shown on television for the first time. Now millions of people watch college basketball.
NCAA Basketball Tournament
More colleges began to play basketball. In 1939, eight teams came together to compete. This was the first NCAA basketball tournament. Each team played basketball against the other teams until one team was left. There are now 65 college teams playing in the NCAA basketball tournament.
