On Dec. 15, 1891, James Naismith, a Canadian physical education instructor, invents basketball, while working at the Y.M.C.A. College at Springfield, Massachusetts On Jan 15, 1892, Triangle magazine in Springfield, MA published the rules for a brand new game: the one we know that began by attaching peach baskets to a suspended board. It is better known as basketball. More input from FAQ Farmers: * The Rules of basketball were formed by James Naismith. They were formed at a time were little knowledge was available. So they were formed as a way for a sport to be played indoors during the winter. They were formed by careful examination of People at the Y M C A and other sports such as soccer and football.

A gym teacher wanted to make a game for his class that would be fun on a rainy day. So he asked the janitor for two boxes, which they tied up, and got a ball. They originally called it Peach-Basket Ball because the boxes they had, that weren't really boxes, were peach baskets. Then as it was passed on it was changed. The rules were changed, the hoop and net were made, and instead of ending the game every time someone shot the ball, because they had to climb up on a ladder to get the ball from the basket, they just keep playing because the net has a hole at the bottom and allows the ball to come out.

Dr. James Naismith is known world-wide as the inventor of basketball. He was born in 1861 in Ramsay township, near Almonte, Ontario, Canada. The concept of basketball was born from Naismith's school days in the area where he played a simple child's game known as duck-on-a-rock outside his one-room schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a "duck" off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith went on to attend McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. After serving as McGill's Athletic Director, James Naismith moved on to the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA in 1891, where the sport of basketball was born. In Springfield, Naismith was faced with the problem of finding a sport that was suitable for play inside during the Massachusetts winter for the students at the School for Christian Workers. Naismith wanted to create a game of skill for the students instead of one that relied solely on strength. He needed a game that could be played indoors in a relatively small space. The first game was played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets used as goals. James Naismith devised a set of thirteen rules of basketball: # The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands. # The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands, but never with the fist. # A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man running at good speed. # The ball must be held in or between the hands. The arms or body must not be used for holding it. # No shouldering, holding, pushing, striking or tripping in any way of an opponent. The first infringement of this rule by any person shall count as a foul; the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game. No substitution shall be allowed. # A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violations of Rules 3 and 4 and such as described in Rule 5. # If either side make three consecutive fouls it shall count as a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul). # Goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the ground into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edge and the opponents move the basket, it shall count as a goal. # When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field and played by the first person touching it. In case of dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds. If he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on them. # The umpire shall be judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have the power to disqualify men according to Rule 5. # The referee shall be the judge of the ball and decide when it is in play in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made and keep account of the goals with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee. # The time shall be two 15-minute halves with five minutes' rest between. # The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winners.
