HISTORY OF BASKETBALL
A game that started using one class with eighteen men and an instructor in YMCA, Springfield,
Massachusetts, has grown into a game that more than 300 million people play worldwide. The
man who created this instantly successful sport was a 31-year old, James Naismith. After
graduating with a theology degree, Naismith embraced his love of athletics and headed to
Springfield to study physical education – at that time, a relatively new and unknown academic
discipline – under Luther Halsey Gulick, superintendent of physical education at Springfield
College and today renowned as the father of physical education and recreation in the United
States.

As Naismith, a second-year graduate student who had been named to the teaching faculty; in class
discussions, Gulick had stressed the need for a new indoor game, one “that would be interesting,
easy to learn, and easy to play in the winter and by artificial light.” Two instructors had already
tried and failed to devise activities that would interest the young men. The faculty had met to
discuss what was becoming a persistent problem with the class’s unbridled energy and disinterest
in required work.

During the meeting, Naismith later wrote that he had expressed his opinion that “the trouble is
not with the men, but with the system that we are using.” He felt that the kind of work needed to
motivate and inspire the young men he faced “should be of a re-creative nature, something that
would appeal to their play instincts.” Before the end of the faculty meeting, Gulick gave two
weeks to invent a game. “Naismith,” he said. “I want you to take that class and see what you can
do with it.”

So Naismith went to work. His charge was to create a game that was easy to assimilate, yet
complex enough to be interesting. It had to be playable indoors or on any kind of ground, and by

a large number of players all at once. It should provide plenty of exercise, yet without the
roughness of football, soccer, or rugby since those would threaten bruises and broken bones if
played in a confined space. It became an adaptation of many games. Much time and thought went
into this new creation.

Naismith approached the school janitor, hoping he could find two, 18-inch square boxes to use as
goals. The janitor came back with two peach baskets instead. Naismith then nailed them to the
lower rail of the gymnasium balcony, one at each end. The height of that lower balcony rail
happened to be ten feet.

On December 21, 1891, Naismith then drew up the 13 original rules on the bulletin board, which
described the method of moving the ball and what constituted a foul. A referee was appointed.
The game is divided into two, 15-minute halves with a five minute resting period in between.
That day, he asked his class to play a match in the gymnasium: 9 versus 9, using a soccer ball and
two peach baskets. A short time later, the teams were chosen with three centers, three forwards,
and three guards per side. Two of the centers met at mid-court, Naismith tossed the ball, and the
game of “basket ball” was born. The eighteen players were John G. Thompson, Eugene S. Libby,
Edwin P. Ruggles, William R. Chase, T. Duncan Patton, Frank Mahan, Finlay G. MacDonald,
William H. Davis and Lyman Archibald, who defeated George Weller, Wilbert Carey, Ernest
Hildner, Raymond Kaighn, Genzabaro Ishikawa, Benjamin S. French, Franklin Barnes, George
Day and Henry Gelan 1–0. The goal was scored by Chase. At first they need to get the ball in the
peach basket using a stair. After a while, the bottoms of the fruit baskets were removed.

It was an instant success. A few weeks after the game was invented, students introduced the game
at their own YMCAs. The rules were printed in a College magazine, which was mailed to YMCAs
around the country. Because of the College’s well-represented international student body, the
game of basketball was introduced to many foreign nations in a relatively short period of time.
The first public basketball game was played in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 11, 1892.
High schools and colleges began to introduce the new game, and by 1905, basketball was
officially recognized as a permanent winter sport.

So now you know the true story of James Naismith and the invention of basketball.

OVERVIEW OF THE GAME (BASKETBALL)


Basketball is a game played between two teams of five players each on a rectangular court. The
game is usually played indoors but the game can also be played outdoors. Each team tries to score
by putting or tossing the ball through the opponent’s elevated goal called basket.
The main objective of basketball is to score points as many as you can through making a goal to
your opponent’s basket and preventing the opponent’s team to do the same. The team with the
most points at the end of the game wins.
Each team may have thirteen players entitled to play the game of basketball but only five players
from each team can play inside the court at the same time and they may be substituted when the
ball is not in play. In a professional basketball, each team is composed of a coach, assistant coach,
trainers, managers, doctors, physiotherapists, and statistician.
Though basketball originated in the United States, it has gone on to become a worldwide
phenomenon. The Federation Internationale de Basketball or FIBA was founded in 1932 and has
hosted the FIBA Basketball World Cup since 1950. Today, FIBA membership includes more than
200 basketball teams from different countries across the globe. Basketball became an official
Olympic Sport in 1936.
The rules of the game were changed slightly and more rules were instituted to make the game of
basketball interesting and exciting for spectators, including:
- In 1932, half court line was created, and offensive team would lose possession if they did not
advance the ball on their opponent’s court within 8 seconds.
- In 1935, the jump-ball in the center circle after a goal or free-throw was replaced by throw-ins.
- In 1954, teams were required to attempt to score goal within seconds after gaining possession.
Basketball games are played with different length of time and number of periods or quarters
depending on the level of play. The scoring system is easy to understand. The number of points
for every goal can be determined by the situation, or where the scorer’s feet is set in the court
upon the release of the ball on its hands. A goal can be worth 3, 2, or 1 point.
The game of basketball is not different with other sports, where there are violations and fouls that
may occur during the game. When violations and fouls are committed, the play is immediately
stopped, and the opposing team gains the possession of the ball or may be awarded free-throws.
Each player can only accumulate 5 or 6 fouls (depends on the level of play) before they “foul-
out” and must stay on the bench for the remainder of the game.
Each team is permitted to call timeouts. Timeouts are very brief break time such as 20, 30, or 60
seconds, and the number of timeouts allowed depends on the level of play.
If the score is tied at the end of regulation (after four periods), an overtime period of 5 minutes is
played until a winner is declared.

EQUIPMENT IN BASKETBALL
The game needs very few equipment when played casually. But the requirement goes up and up
in the International level of play. The following equipment will be required to play the basketball
game:

The ball is the most visible equipment in the game. The size of it varies depends on the level of
competition. For men, the official size of the ball is 29.5 inches (75 cm) in circumference (sometimes
called “size 7”) and weighs 22 ounces (623.69 grams). If women are playing, the official basketball size
is 28.5 inches (72 cm) in circumference (“size 6”) with a weight of 20 ounces (567 grams). There are
three basic types of material: leather, synthetic, and rubber. The most used type is a leather basketball –
its biggest advantage is it is made to maintain a high level of grip. Synthetic balls offer a fairly successful
middle ground in terms of performance. It can be used both indoors and outdoors. Rubber basketballs
are generally made for outdoor courts and called outdoor basketballs. They can also be a good option for
beginners who are just learning or for recreational play. Most basketballs have a burnt orange color, but
some are other colors, like black, blue, yellow and even multi-colored. Most leagues and teams require
a standard orange ball.

Basket / Hoop / Ring – is a horizontal metallic rim circular in shape with 18


inches (46 cm) diameter; with an attached net affixed to a backboard. The hoop,
or ring, stands 10 feet off the floor.

“Raising ASC’s bar of performance from 2018 and beyond…” Page |8


Republic of the Philippines
APAYAO STATE COLLEGE
San Isidro Sur, Luna, Apayao
PE 14 – TEAM SPORTS

Backboard is a raised vertical board with an attached ring or basket consisting of a net suspended from
a hoop. Regulation backboards are 6 feet (183 cm) wide by 3.5 feet (107 cm) tall. The inner rectangle
on the backboard is 24 inches (61 cm) wide by 18 inches (46 cm) tall. It is made of flat, rigid piece of
Plexiglas or tempered glass.

Scoreboard is a large board that displays the score in a game. It indicates


the time of the game, shot clock, score of both teams, number of fouls of
each team, and the period or quarter in the game.

BASKETBALL COURT
The basketball court is a flat and rectangular playing surface with baskets at the end. In a
professional or organized basketball, especially when played indoors, it is usually made out of
wood, often maple, and highly polished. Basketball courts come in different sizes but their baskets
are always 10 feet (3.05 meters) above the floor (except possibly in youth competition).
Basketball courts have a three-point arc at both baskets. A basket made from behind this arc is
worth three points; a basket made from within this line, or with a player's foot touching the line,
is worth 2 points. The free-throw line, where one stands while taking a foul shot, is located within
the three-point arc at 15 feet from the plane of the backboard. A foul shot is worth 1 point, but if
a shot is made from the foul line while in play it is still worth 2 points.

13 ORIGINAL RULES WRITTEN BY


DR. JAMES A. NAISMITH
As stated in the history of the game, basketball is an original game invented by Dr. James
Naismith in 1891. He designed it with rules of its own. These are the rules published in January
15, 1892 in the school newspaper, The Triangle, where he instituted the game. Let’s know more
of the first thirteen (13) rules in basketball.

Original Rules of Basketball by Dr. James A. Naismith


1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both
hands.
2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands
(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 a
man who catches the ball when running at a good speed if he tries
to stop.
4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body
must not be used for holding it.
5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any
way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first
infringement of this rule by any player shall count as a foul, the
second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or, if there
was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game,
no substitute allowed.
6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3,4, and such as described in Rule 5.
7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents (consecutive means
without the opponents in the mean time making a foul).
8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays
there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the
edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal.
9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person first touching
it. In case of a 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 that side.
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 power to disqualify men according to Rule 5.

11. The referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball 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 winner. In case of a draw, the game
may, by agreement of the captains, be continued until another goal is made.

BASIC RULES IN BASKETBALL (FIBA)


The rules of basketball can vary slightly depending on the level of play or where the game is
played. These rule differences, however, are usually just variations on the basic game of
basketball and the majority of the rules discussed below can be applied to most of any game of
basketball.

GENERAL RULES
• Basketball is a team sport.
• Two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet.
• The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and there is a hoop at each end.
• The court is divided into two main sections by the mid-court line.
• Each time is assigned a basket or goal to defend. At halftime, the team switch goals.
• The ball is moved down the court toward the basket by passing or dribbling. The team with
the ball is called the offense. The team without the ball is called the defense.
• Once the offensive team gets the ball over the mid-court line, it can no longer have possession
of the ball in the area behind the midcourt line. If it does, the defense is awarded the ball.
• The defense tries to steal the ball, contest shots, deflect passes, and garner rebounds.
• The game begins with one player from either team at center court.

“Raising ASC’s bar of performance from 2018 and beyond…” P a g e | 13


Republic of the Philippines
APAYAO STATE COLLEGE
San Isidro Sur, Luna, Apayao
PE 14 – TEAM SPORTS

• A referee will toss the ball up between the two. The player that gets his hands on the ball will
tip it to a teammate. This is called a tip-off.
On Getting Points
• The winner of a basketball game is the team with the most points.
• You get points by throwing the basketball through the opponent's hoop or basket.
• In regular play a basket made from within the three point line is worth 2 points and a basket
shot from outside the three point line is worth three points. When shooting a free throw, each
free throw is worth 1 point.
On FREE THROWS
• Free throws are awarded to a team when opponent committed fouls.
• Fouling a shooter always results in two or three free throws being awarded the shooter,
depending upon where he was when he shot. If he was beyond the three-point line, then he
gets three shots.
• Other types of fouls do not result in free throws being awarded until a certain number (five
team fouls) have accumulated in a quarter (called “team fouls”). Once that number is reached,
then the player who was fouled is automatically awarded of two free throws.
On GAME CLOCK
• Usually games are played in four quarters of 10 minutes (FIBA) or 12 minutes (Professional
level).
• Each game is divided into two halves (first half and second half) with 15 minutes of half-time
break.
• If the score is tied at the end of the regulation, then overtime periods are played until a winner
emerges. Overtime periods are five minutes in length.
• The clock or time runs whenever the ball is in play. The clock is stopped whenever the ball
goes out of bounds, a foul is called, free throws are being shot, and during timeouts. When the
ball is inbound, the clock starts once a player touches the ball.
• In order to speed up the game, a shot clock was added. This is how long you have to shoot the
ball. If the ball changes possession or hits the rim of the basket, the shot clock starts over. The
length of the shot clock is 24 seconds.
• If the offensive team puts the ball into play behind the mid-court line, it has ten (10) seconds
to get the ball over the mid-court line. If it doesn't, then the defense gets the ball.
On TYPES OF FOULS
• An attempt to unfairly disadvantage an opponent through certain types of physical contact
is illegal and is called a personal foul. These are most commonly committed by defensive
players; however, they can be committed by offensive players as well.
• Personal fouls include any type of illegal physical contact such as hitting, pushing, slapping,
holding, and illegal screening.

“Raising ASC’s bar of performance from 2018 and beyond…” P a g e | 14


Republic of the Philippines
APAYAO STATE COLLEGE
San Isidro Sur, Luna, Apayao
PE 14 – TEAM SPORTS

• When a player pushes or runs over a defensive player an offensive foul is committed. This
type of foul is also called charging foul.
• Blocking is an illegal personal contact resulting from a defender not establishing position in
time to prevent an opponent's drive to the basket.
• Violent contact with an opponent may result to Flagrant foul. This includes hitting, kicking,
and punching. This type of foul results in free throws plus the offense retaining possession of
the ball after the free throws.
• Intentional foul is called when a player makes physical contact with another player with no
reasonable effort to steal the ball. It is a judgment call for the officials.
• A player or a coach can commit a Technical foul. Foul language, obscenity, obscene gestures,
and even arguing can be considered a technical foul.
On TYPES OF VIOLATIONS
• Taking more than 'a step and a half' without dribbling the ball is traveling. Moving your pivot
foot once you've stopped dribbling is traveling.
• Carrying or Palming occurs when the dribbling player continues to dribble after allowing the
ball to come to rest in one or both hands.
• Dribbling the ball with both hands on the ball at the same time or picking up the dribble and
then dribbling again is a double dribble.
• If a defensive player interferes with a shot while it's on the way down toward the basket, while
it's on the way up toward the basket after having touched the backboard, or while it's in the
cylinder above the rim, it's goaltending and the shot counts.
• Backcourt violation occurs once the offense has brought the ball across the mid-court line, they
cannot go back across the line during possession.
• Time restrictions. A player passing the ball inbounds has five seconds to pass the ball. If he
does not, then the ball is awarded to the other team. Other time restrictions include the rule that
a player cannot have the ball for more than five seconds when being closely guarded and, shot-
clock restrictions requiring a team to attempt a shot within 24 seconds.

BASKETBALL PLAYER’S POSITIONS


The rules of basketball do not define any specific player positions.
This is different from many other major sports like football, baseball,
and soccer where at least some players must be in certain positions
during the play of the game (the goalie in soccer, for example). So
the positions in basketball are more part of an overall strategy of the
game. There are 5 traditional positions that most teams have in their
offense and defensive schemes. Many players today are
interchangeable or can play many positions.

The five traditional basketball player positions are:


Point guard: The point guard is the team leader and play caller on the basketball court. A point
guard needs good ball handling skills, passing skills as well as strong leadership and decision
making skills. Traditionally basketball point guards were small and fast players.
Shooting guard: The shooting guard in basketball has the main responsibility of making long
outside shots including the three-point shot. The shooting guard also should be a good passer
and able to help the point guard with the ball handling. Shooting guards are often the top scorer
on a team.
Small forward: Along with the shooting guard, the small forward is often the most versatile
player on the basketball team. They should be able to help with ball handling, make an outside
shot, and get rebounds. The small forward is often a great defensive player as well. The
combination of height and quickness can allow them to defend a number of positions and take
on the best scorer on the opposing team.
Power forward: The power forward on a basketball team is usually responsible for rebounding
and some scoring in the paint. A power forward should be big and strong and able to clear out
some space under the basket. Many great power forwards in the game today do not score a lot
of points, but lead their team in rebounds. Power forwards are often good shot blockers as well.
Center: The center is usually the biggest or tallest member of the basketball team. The center
can be a big scorer, but also needs to be a strong rebounder and shot blocker. On many teams
the center is the final line of defense.

FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS IN BASKETBALL


The fundamentals of basketball are the MOST important thing to master because they will make
you and your team better no matter what age level or team you play for. There are so many
different situations that you will face when playing basketball. And the only thing that works
against all situations, no matter what age level or team are the fundamental skills.
Here are the Key Basketball Fundamentals That Will Make You a Better Player
Shooting
Passing
Dribbling
Rebounding

SHOOTING
Knowing how to shoot a basketball correctly is the most important skill you need to master in
order to play the game. You need to be able to put the ball in the hoop. With the right form and
habits you will be well ahead of the game!

STEPS in Shooting a Basketball


1. Locate the target.
2. Keep your feet no further than shoulder width apart, preferably closer together, and slightly staggered.
3. Bend your knees slightly.
4. Grip the ball correctly.
5. Dip the ball down to your waist or thigh.
6. Position your elbow so it's in-line with your shoulder, not directly under the ball.
7. Straighten your knees and jump.

8. Jump slightly forward when you shoot, making sure your shoulders lean back and are relaxed.
9. Jump forward higher in the air, keeping your shoulders back, if you need to shoot a longer shot.
10. Push the ball upward with your shooting hand.
11. Release the ball and follow through.

PASSING
Basketball is team game, and although the one scoring the points usually gets the limelight, the
person assisting them is just as important. Much like dribbling and shooting, passing the ball
is a fundamental part of basketball that you must master in order to become better.

There are essentially two types of passes:


• Bounce Pass - The pass is thrown to the floor so that it bounces to the intended receiver.
• Air Pass - The pass travels between players without hitting the floor.

Things to remember in passing a basketball:


A good pass is a pass a teammate can catch
When passing, step toward your receiver.
When catching, step toward the pass like shooting, the ball should have a backspin to it. This is
accomplished by following through on every pass.

PERFORMING a BOUNCE PASS


Grip the ball on both sides with your fingertips pointed towards your chin.
Bring the ball towards your chest.
Take a step with your dominant foot and throw the ball.
Bounce the ball instead of throwing it in the air to perform a bounce pass.

PERFORMING an AIR PASS


Put a hand on each side of the ball with your fingers spread apart.
Bring the ball up over your head.
Step forward with your dominant foot and throw the ball.

DRIBBLING
In basketball, dribbling is bouncing the ball on the floor continuously with one hand at a time. It
is the only legal move a basketball player can use to advance the ball on his court while walking
or running.
Key Reminders when Dribbling a Basketball:
• Touch the ball with your fingertips, not your palm.
• Get in a low stance.
• Bounce the ball off of the ground.
• Keep your hand on top of the ball.
• Keep the ball low.

STEPS in Dribbling a Basketball


1. Keep your head up and your eyes on the game. Don’t look at the ball.
2. Extend your arm and snap your wrists to send the ball into the ground
3. Use your fingers, not your palms, to control the ball.
4. Do not bounce the ball too high while dribbling.
5. Use your body and your non-dribbling arm to shield the ball from defenders. Keep your body between
your defender and the ball.
6. Be aware of where you dribble the ball.

REBOUNDING
Rebounding is one of the most important aspects of winning basketball games. A rebound is when
a player gains control of a basketball after a shot is missed. After the ball bounces off the rim or
backboard, you need to grab the ball into to get a rebound. You can do this with your own shot,
or another player's shot. Whether you are playing offense or defense, getting a rebound is crucial
for your team to have control of the ball. Having the right position on the court and knowing
where the ball is at all times will give you the best chance of bringing down a rebound. Stay alert
and be aggressive, and you can lead your team in this crucial stat that contributes to winning
games.

Find a good position on the court. Before the shot even goes in
the air, be on the lockout or a good position. First, look for other
players on your tam, and make sure you are not getting in a
teammate’s way.

Get low to the ground. A good way to prepare yourself for a


rebound is to get low on the ground. This usually involves
crouching slightly so you may easily jump into the air to catch the
basketball for rebound.

Spread your arms. Keep your hands up and arms open wide.
This allows you to have to have the widest coverage on the court,
blocking other players. It also prepares your arms for catching the
ball. When rebound comes, you’ll need to jump and grab quickly
the basketball.

Box out your opponent, if necessary. You may also need to


block opposing players going for the rebound, a process called
boxing out. You can use your hands and feet to position yourself
between the opposing player and the basket. If you’re crouching
and spreading your arms, you’re already in the box out position.

Jump towards the ball and grasp the ball with both hands, if
possible. As soon as the ball came off the glass or the rim, spring up
with your arms outstretched. Always try to grab the ball with both
hands. Rebounding with one hand gives your opponent to swat the
ball away easily. Hug the ball to your body as you come down.
