In early December 1891, Luther Gulick, chairman of the physical education department at the School for Christian Workers (now Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, instructed physical education teacher James Naismith to invent a new game to entertain the school's athletes during the winter season. With an ordinary soccer ball, Naismith assembled his class of 18 young men, appointed captains of two nine-player teams, and introduced them to the game of Basket Ball (then two words). Naismith, who had outlined 13 original rules, dispatched the school janitor to find two boxes to be fastened to the balcony railing at opposite sides of the gymnasium, where they would serve as goals. The school janitor, however, only found two half-bushel peach baskets, and the game was played with these.\n\narchive articles \nf1938: Basketball \nf1939: Basketball \nf1940: Basketball \nf1941: Basketball \nf1942: Basketball \n74 items \n\nA  Early Developments \n\nMeadowlark Lemon The Harlem Globetrotters originated in Chicago, Illinois, in 1927. Members of the Globetrotters, professional athletes that specialize in tricky moves and hilarious slapstick, have entertained basketball fans around the world since the team’s inception. Meadowlark Lemon, shown here, was a popular team leader.LDE/Archive Photos  \n \nThe soccer ball and the peach basket soon gave way to specialized equipment. For example, in the early days the peach baskets were closed at the bottom, meaning that someone had to climb on a ladder to retrieve the ball after a made basket. The peach basket was later replaced by a metal rim with a net hanging below, and in 1906 people began opening the netting to let the ball fall through. The first basketballs were made from panels of leather stitched together with a rubber bladder inside. A cloth lining was added to the leather for support and uniformity. The molded basketball, introduced in about 1942, was a significant advancement for the sport. The molded ball, a factory-made ball that had a constant size and shape, offered better reaction and durability, making play more consistent and the development of individual skills easier. In Naismith's original 13 rules, the ball could be batted in any direction with one or both hands, but it could not be dribbled because players could not move with the ball. Beginning in 1910 a player could dribble the ball, but could not shoot after dribbling. It was not until 1916, following heated debate, that players were allowed to shoot after dribbling.\n\ndynamic timeline \nBasketball Invented \n \n \n\nThroughout basketball's history, no part of the game has been more monitored than the act of fouling an opponent. In basketball's early days, a player's second foul would mean removal from the game until the next field goal was made. If a team committed three consecutive fouls, the opposition would be awarded a field goal. Beginning in 1894 players were given a free throw when fouled. Beginning in 1908 players who committed five fouls were disqualified from the game. Based on the severity of the foul, the rules were soon amended so that players were awarded either two shots or one shot plus a bonus shot, which was attempted only if the first shot was made. The rules also determined that an offensive player could commit a foul by playing too aggressively.\n\n It was not until 1916, following heated debate, that players were allowed to shoot after dribbling. \n\nIn 1892 Lithuanian-born physical education teacher Senda Berenson Abbott introduced basketball to women, at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Because it was believed that Naismith’s version of the game could be too physically demanding for women, Berenson Abbott made the following changes to the game: The court was divided into three equal sections, with players required to stay in an assigned area; players were prohibited from snatching or batting the ball from the hands of another player; and players we

I never played past PAL in grade school.  I focused on baseball and had plans to play for the Detroit Tigers.  In the D, middle school and high school basketball was very competitive, Cris Webber, Jalen Rose, etc.  I discovered the love for basketball in college in Michigan.  Though I learned I could dunk, I had no chance at the big show (NBA).  \n \nBy the way, did you and J Rich attend Nouvel Catholic Central High School before he transferred?\n\nOh yes Pistons56, that coach was a dim bulb.  NBA lottery picks don't walk on your court everyday. Nouvel would have crushed the competition with J Rich on board.  I'm sorry things didn't work out for your school.  J Rich is the type of guy that you pull for.

Kerr played for phoenix, clevland, orlando, chicago, san antonio, and portland.  I am positive he never played for the Heat.  I think the other guy is thinking of Thunder Dan Marleje

NCAA basketball: Temple University announces that head men's basketball coach John Chaney will not coach in the Atlantic 10 Conference's tournament. This decision stems from an incident during a game against Saint Joseph's University on February 24, when Chaney responded to the non-calling of illegal screens by Hawks players by sending in Temple center Nehemiah Ingram to commit hard fouls on Saint Joseph's center John Bryant.

In early December 1891, Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian physician of McGill University and minister on the faculty of a college for YMCA professionals (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters. After rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he modified a a childhood game titled "Duck on a rock" and wrote the basic rules.[1] He nailed a peach basket onto the 10-foot (3.05 m) elevated track. In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its bottom. Therefore balls scored into the basket had to be poked out with a long dowel each time. Women's basketball began in 1892 at Smith College when Senda Berenson, a physical education teacher, modified Naismith's rules for women. The first official basketball game was played in the YMCA gymnasium on January 20, 1892 with nine players, on a court just half the size of a present-day National Basketball Association (NBA) court. "Basket ball", the name suggested by one of Naismith's students, was popular from the beginning.
