People eager to see their favorite team win would sit on the balconies (when basketball used peach baskets as a goal posted to balconies) and use their feet to drive the ball away from the hoop. So I guess once James Naismith got tired of it, backboards were installed.

First BackboardIn 1893, the first backboards were created to keep fans from interfering. They were originally made out of chicken wire, as were the baskets.

Wood and GlassIn 1904, wooden backboards became mandatory because of safety reasons, including injuries suffered from the chicken wire. By 1909, glass backboards were becoming common because of their aesthetic appeal. Modern regulated backboards are made of fiberglass. Fiberglass is harder to break and highly transparent.
