What was the first basketball hoop made out of?
The round hoop is made of steel, the netting is a woven nylon fiber. The first basket for basketball was literally a basket. A peach basket to be specific. A ladder was used to retrieve the ball after a shot was made. Later a pole was utilized to poke the ball back out.
What was used as the first basketball and hoop?
Peach baskets were nailed onto a 10 foot high track. The bottoms were left on the baskets so each time a shot was good the ball would have to be retrieved from the basket.
