About Basketball

James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts, nailing peach baskets to a gymnasium balcony so students had something to play indoors through a New England winter. Early games stopped after every point because someone had to fetch the ball out of the basket. The modern game keeps much of that first design: a raised target, no tackling, and a premium on passing. Terms here run from the backboard and the rebound to the whistle that stops the clock.

Reach for this before a youth practice or during a rained-out gym period, when players are learning the vocabulary a coach uses at speed.
