    History of Basketball

     Basketball was established in 1891 by James Naismith as a less-injury-prone sport than football.
    He invented the sport as a 31-year-old graduate student to keep participants indoors during the
    winter.
     The game immediately gained traction and remained popular far into the 20th century. It initially
    gained popularity in the United States before spreading to other parts of the world.
     As the game gained traction in universities, the professional game, now known as the NBL,
    quickly followed. The NBA was founded in 1946 and evolved into a multibillion-dollar company
    by the end of the twentieth century, making the sport a major aspect of American society.

    Creation of Basketball

     James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts, to train athletes during
    the colder months. Naismith previously taught physical education at YMCA International
    Training School, which is now Springfield College.
     He was charged by his superior with developing an indoor sport that would enable sportsmen stay
    in condition during the winter weather. It began with fruit baskets and a soccer-style ball. He
    devised 13 rules for his game, divided his 18-student class into two teams of nine players, and
    began teaching them the fundamentals.
     His creation's goal was to toss the basketball into the fruit baskets affixed to the lower railing of
    the gym's balcony. When a point was scored, the game had to be stopped so the janitor could
    fetch the ladder and retrieve the ball. They eventually removed the bottoms of the fruit baskets
    since retrieving the ball after each score was impractical.

    Development of the Game

    Despite the fact that the initial 13 rules have been enlarged to over 100, the spirit and concepts of the
    original rules remain in force today. The number of players, the court boundaries, dribbling, and the
    elimination of the center jump after made baskets were all major rule changes over the years.

     1.1 Team size


    There was no defined limit on the number of players at first. The game was designed to
    be played by any number of people. That, however, did not work out. After experimenting with
    teams of up to 50 players, early games were mostly played with nine players on each side,
    because Naismith's class only had 18 students. Five players became the required team size in
    1897.
     1.2 Substitutions
    Initially, players were not permitted to return to the game. In 1920, the rule was changed
    to allow a player to re-enter the game once. The regulation was expanded in 1934 to enable
    players to re-enter the game twice, and the rule was eventually amended in 1945 to allow players
    to return to the game an infinite number of times.
     1.3 Basket
    Originally, the game was played with peach baskets or 18" square boxes hung from the
    balconies of most indoor facilities' running tracks. The basket height was set at 10 feet at the time,
    and it is still in use today. The fruit baskets and boxes obviously slowed the game considerably
    since the ball had to be recovered after each goal by someone on the running track or by ladder.
    In 1892, hefty woven wire rims replaced the fruit baskets. A year later, in 1893, cast iron rims
    were introduced. In 1912, open-ended nylon nets were allowed for usage. This was a watershed
    moment in basketball because the free-falling ball after a made basket boosted the game's speed
    and scoring.
     1.4 Ball
    Basketball games were first played with soccer balls. They were, however, inadequate for
    dribbling and ball handling. A bicycle manufacturing firm made the first manufactured
    basketballs in 1894. Spalding took over as the official ball producer in the late 1890’s. The
    selection of basketballs was left up to the teams in 1905. These early brown leather basketballs
    were difficult to dribble due to their inability to keep their form and laces. In 1929 basketballs
    were re-designed for more bounce and with concealed laces which prevented inconsistent
    bounces. The balls were larger, lighter and simpler to handle. Molded basketballs with consistent
    form and size replaced patched balls in 1942. The American Basketball Association (ABA) used
    a red, white, and blue basketball in 1967. The WNBA and FIBA now employ contrasting panels.
    The men's ball has a circumference of 30" while the smaller women's ball has a circumference of
    29".
     1.5 Scoring
    Originally, a successful goal was worth one point, and a team received one point for
    every three consecutive fouls called against the opponent. The first free throws were made in
    1894. A successful field goal and a successful free throw were both tallied as one goal. In 1896,
    the rules were amended to make a successful field goal worth two points. The three-point shot
    was first used in the American Basketball League in 1961. FIBA introduced the three-point shot
    into international basketball in 1967. The National Basketball Association (NBA) and the
    National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) both introduced the three-point shot in 1977
    and 1980, respectively.
     1.6 Dribbling
    The ball could not be bounced under the original regulations. The regulation allowing
    players to bounce the ball once was established in 1901. Players were compelled to pass the ball
    and could not shoot after it bounced. Because the ball had to be hurled higher than a player's head
    and then collected, this single dribble equated to a pass rather than a dribble. Because there were
    no regulation limitations, players may employ this one bounce method many times in a row.
    Continuous dribbling and shoots off dribble were introduced in 1909. The ability to shoot off the
    dribble converted the dribble from a defensive move to a strong attacking weapon. At the same
    time, double dribbling was prohibited.
    The First International Game

    The first international match was conducted in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 1909, between a team
    called Mayak Saint Petersburg and an American team from the Young Men's Christian Association
    (YMCA).

    Equipment and Measurement of the Basketball Court

    Equipment of the Basketball Court

     Essential Equipment
     Court
     Backboards with basket attached
     Competitive level Equipment
     Clock
     Score sheets
     Scoreboards
     Alternating possession arrows
     Whistle-operated stop-clock

    Measurement of the Basketball Court

     The Basket
    The regulation distance from the ground to the top of the rim is 10 ft for all levels of play.
     Backboards
    The regulation backboards are 6 feet wide (72 inches) by 42 inches tall. All basketball
    rims (hoops) are 18 inches in diameter. The inner square on the backboard is 24 inches wide by
    18 inches.
     Court Size
    NBA and College – 94 feet long and 50 feet wide
    High School – 84 feet long and 50 feet wide
    Junior High – 74 feet long and 42 feet wide
     Foul Line
    For all courts the “foul line” distance is 15 feet from the foul line to the front of the
    backboard. This measurement is commonly confused as from the center of the basket and front of
    the rim.
    All line markings on the floor are 2 inches wide.
     3 point line (ARC)
    Women’s College and High School Basketball Courts- the 3 point arc is 19 feet 9 inches.
    NBA Basketball Courts – the 3 point arc is 22 feet to the center of the rim on the sides
    with a straight line extending out 16 feet 9 inches from the baseline. Past those points the
    line extends out 23 feet 9 inches from the center of the rim.
    Men’s College Basketball Courts – the 3 point arc is 20 feet 9 inches.
    Five Fundamentals Skills in Basketball

     Dribbling
    The most crucial basketball fundamental for all players is dribbling. This offensive talent
    will let you to go up and down the court, avoid opponents, and execute plays. Dribbling involves
    ball-handling abilities with both hands and the ability to do a variety of crossovers as players
    advance in level.

     Shooting
    To score points and be a good offensive player in basketball, you must be able to shoot
    the ball into the basket. A proper shot needs precision targeting, arm extension, leg lift, and a hard
    follow through. You must learn a variety of shots, including layups, free throws, and three-
    pointers.

     Running
    Running is an understandably crucial basketball ability. In a full-court game, you'll be
    rushing back and forth as the game switches between offense and defense. Running helps you
    escape opponents and get to the hoop faster when you have the ball. As a defensive player, you
    will frequently need to chase down your opponent, especially during fast breaks, to prevent an
    easy layup or dunk.

     Passing
    Because you are always on the court with four other players from your team, it is critical
    to be able to distribute the ball well, even if you are not a point guard attempting to earn assists.
    Different sorts of passes:
    Chest pass: A chest pass is thrown without bouncing from the passer's chest to
    the receiver's chest.
    Bounce pass: Is similarly thrown from the passer's chest to the receiver's chest,
    but it bounces between the two players.
    Overhead pass: An overhead pass is one that is launched from above the head
    from a larger distance than a conventional chest or bounce pass.

     Jumping
    Another skill that might determine a basketball player's ability is jumping. Jumping is
    used in offense during the jump ball, when shooting shots, battling for offensive rebound off of
    failed shoots, and occasionally while attempting to grab a pass.
