Johanna Sanaguano was taking a 10 BASICA "A" course on September 9, 2015. The document discusses the origins of basketball, describing how the game was invented in 1891 by James Naismith, a Canadian physical education teacher, to keep his students occupied during the winter. Naismith established the basic rules and equipment for the new indoor game, nailing a peach basket to a pole to be used as the first basketball hoop.
