    BACKGROUND AND NATURE OF BASKETBALL

    Background Information for Learners


    In early December 1891, Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian-born physical education
    professor and instructor at the International Young Men's Christian Association Training School
    (YMCA) (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, was trying to keep his
    gym class active on a rainy day. He sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied
    and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters. After rejecting over ideas as
    either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules of his game
    and nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot (3.05 m) elevated track. In contrast with modern
    basketball nets, this peach basket retained its bottom, and balls had to be retrieved manually after
    each "basket" or point scored; this proved inefficient, however, so the bottom of the basket was
    removed allowing the balls to be poked out with a long dowel each time. The peach baskets were
    used until 1906 when they were finally replaced by metal hoops with backboards. A further change
    was soon made, so the ball merely passed through, paving the way for the game we know today.
    An association football was used to shoot baskets. Whenever a person got the ball in the basket,
    his team would gain a point. Whichever team got the most points won the game. The baskets were
    originally nailed to the mezzanine balcony of the playing court, but this proved impractical when
    spectators on the balcony began to interfere with shots. The backboard was introduced to prevent
    this interference; it had the additional effect of allowing rebound shots.
    The object of the game is to outscore one's opponents by throwing the ball through the
    opponents' basket from above while preventing the opponents from doing so on their own. An
    attempt to score in this way is called a shot. A successful shot is worth two points, or three points if
    it is taken from beyond the three-point arch which is 6.25 meters (20 ft 6 in) from the basket in
    international games and 23 feet 9 inches (7.24 m) in NBA games. A one-point shot can be earned
    when shooting from the foul line after a foul is made. Games are played in four quarters of 10
    (FIBA) or 12 minutes (NBA). Fifteen minutes are allowed for a half-time break under FIBA, NBA,
    and NCAA rules. Overtime periods are five minutes in length. Teams exchange baskets for the
    second half. The time allowed is actual playing time; the clock is stopped while the play is not
    active. Therefore, games generally take much longer to complete than the allotted game time,
    typically about two hours. Five players from each team may be on the court at one time.
    Substitutions are unlimited but can only be done when play is stopped. Teams also have a coach,
    who oversees the development and strategies of the team, and other team personnel such as
    assistant coaches, managers, statisticians, doctors and trainers. For both men's and women's
    teams, a standard uniform consists of a pair of shorts and a jersey with a clearly visible number,
    unique within the team, printed on both the front and back. Players wear high-top sneakers that
    provide extra ankle support. Typically, team names, players' names and, sponsors are printed on
    the uniforms. A limited number of time-outs, clock stoppages requested by a coach (or sometimes
    mandated in the NBA) for a short meeting with the players, are allowed. They generally last no
    longer than one minute (100 seconds in the NBA) unless, for televised games, a commercial break
    is needed. The game is controlled by the officials consisting of the referee (referred to as crew
    chief in the NBA), one or two umpires (referred to as referees in the NBA) and the table officials.
    For college, the NBA, and many high schools, there are a total of three referees on the court. The
    table officials are responsible for keeping track of each teams scoring, timekeeping, individual and
    team fouls, player substitutions, team possession arrow, and the shot clock.
