I have actually come across this question before, It started in America when a coach had to come up with a game for his pupils to play in the winter. So he pined a basket/bin to the wall and originally it had a bottom so each time you got a hoop you would actually have to climb up and remove the ball. Thing have come a long way since then

Basketball came to Duke University in 1906 when the university was known as Trinity College.
I'm sure that came from the fact that when basketball was created, the ball (then a soccer ball or football ball) was supposed to be shot into empty peach baskets, left behind by fruit pickers. James Naismith then apparently came up with the idea and named it after the goal of the game: shooting the ball into the basket, hence, basketball.

When basketball was first made it was used for a gym game and they put baskets on top of poles, that is where the name came from.
