History of Basketball

3. When? 1891
4. How? Took a soccer ball and a peach basket into the gym and invented basketball.
5. Why? They needed a sport to play indoors for the winter because it was too cold to play baseball or football outside.
6. What were the circumstances at the beginning? It was always a good game.
7. What was it like at the start? Basketball was actually the same as it is now.
8. What types of shots were taken? Every time a point was scored, the game was halted so the janitor could bring out a ladder and retrieve the ball.
9. How is basketball different today than when it first started? Major difference from modern day basketball is that there was no dribbling allowed, only passing and the person with the ball had to stay in place
