History

History

Basketball was invented by James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts. The year was 1891, and as the story goes, Naismith was asked to come up with an indoor game that offered fewer injuries than classic American gridiron football. He came up with a 9-on-9 game that involved shooting a ball into a peach basket.Under those first rules, a single point was scored for a made basket. The first game would have a final score of 1-0.The game of basketball grew very rapidly, with college teams forming leagues within the first decade of the game’s invention. Naismith himself would become a college coach for the game, joining the University of Kansas in 1898. He would amass a win/loss record of 55-60.This means James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, is also the only coach in Kansas history to have a losing record.Basketball was introduced to the rest of the world due to efforts from the US Army and the YMCA. In 1893, the first international basketball match was organized. Members took the game to India, Japan, Persia, and China as well.

In 1895, the first recorded basketball game between two college teams was organized. The University of Minnesota A&M faced Hamlin University under 9-on-9 rules, winning the game 9-3. In 1896, the first collegiate 5-on-5 game was played between Iowa and the University of Chicago, with Chicago winning 15-12.

By 1898, professional leagues were forming, as were collegiate leagues. Six teams took part in the first professional basketball league, but the league was disbanded in 1904. Between then and World War I, small championships were created and some teams played for money against challengers. This includes the original Celtics basketball team.
