Basketball was invented in December 1891 by James Naismith as a less injury-prone indoor sport, using peach baskets and a soccer ball. The first official game took place in March 1892, and over the years, various rules and equipment have evolved, including the introduction of metal hoops and referee signals for violations and fouls. The document also provides extensive details on the rules of play, including different types of violations and how referees signal them.

3. HISTORY OF BASKETBALL
The history of basketball began with its invention in December 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts by
Canadian physical education instructor James Naismith as a less injury-prone sport than football. Naismith
was a 31-year old graduate student when he created the indoor sports to keep athletes indoors during the
winters. James Naismith was a physical education instructor at YMCA International Training School (now
known as Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts. Upon the request of his boss, Naismith was
tasked to create an indoor sports game to help athletes keep in shape in cold weather.

6. HISTORY OF BASKETBALL
It consisted of peach baskets and a soccer style ball. The objective of the game was to throw the basketball
into the fruit baskets nailed to the lower railing of the gym balconyNaismith then nailed them to the lower rail
of the gymnasium balcony, one at each end. The height of that lower balcony rail happened to be ten feet. A
man was stationed at each end of the balcony to pick the ball from the basket and put it back into play. It
wasn’t until a few years later that the bottoms of those peach baskets were cut to let the ball fall loose.

8. HISTORY OF BASKETBALL
On December 21, 1891, he published 13 rules for the new game. He divided his class of eighteen into two
teams of nine players each and set about to teach them the basics of his new game using a soccer ball and two
peach baskets. As they were playing with a ball and a basket, someone suggested calling the game
“basketball”. The first public basketball game was played in Springfield, Massachusetts, on March 11, 1892.
The Peach baskets were closed, and balls had to be retrieved manually. Only in 1906 were metal hoops, nets,
and backboards introduced. Moreover, earlier the soccer ball was replaced by a Spalding ball, similar to the
one used today.

game.
Basketball referee signals help to tell the crowd,
scorer’s table, coaches, and players what is
happening on the floor.

154. BASKETBALL RULES
Basketball rules can change slightly based on where the game is
played (international rules differ from USA professional rules) or
the level of play (professional rules differ from college rules, for
example). However, most of the rules covered here are applicable
to almost any basketball game performed, with the exception of
those that differ in how the game is played.

155. RULES FOR OFFENSE
1.) The player must bounce, or
dribble, the ball with one hand
while moving both feet. If, at
any time, both hands touch
the ball or the player stops
dribbling, the player must
only move one foot. The foot
that is stationary is called the
pivot foot.
2.) The basketball player can only
take one turn at dribbling. In other
words, once a player has stopped
dribbling they cannot start another
dribble. A player who starts dribbling
again is called for a double-dribbling
violation and looses the basketball to
the other team. A player can only
start another dribble after another
player from either team touches or
gains control of the basketball. This
is usually after a shot or pass.
3.)The ball must stay in
bounds. If the offensive team
looses the ball out of bounds
the other team gets control of
the basketball.

156. RULES FOR OFFENSE
4.) The players hand must be
on top of the ball while
dribbling. If they touch the
bottom of the basketball while
dribbling and continue to
dribble this is called carrying
the ball and the player will
lose the ball to the other team.
5.) Once the offensive team
crosses half court, they may
not go back into the
backcourt. This is called a
backcourt violation. If the
defensive team knocks the ball
into the backcourt, then the
offensive team can recover the
ball legally.

157. DEFENSIVE RULES
The defensive player's main rule is to avoid fouling. Getting an unfair
advantage through physical contact is referred to as a foul. In
principle, the defensive player is not allowed to contact the offensive
player in a way that results in the offensive player losing the ball or
missing a shot, though the referee may have to make some
interpretations.

158. RULES FOR EVERYONE
1.) All players on the
court, including
offensive players, are
subject to the foul rule,
despite the fact that it
was previously
discussed as a
defensive rule.
2.) Basketball players
cannot kick the ball or
hit it with their fist.
3.) No player can touch
the basketball while it is
traveling downward
towards the basket or if it
is on the rim. This is
called goaltending.
(touching the ball on the
rim is legal in some
games).
