 BACKGOUND AND
HISTORY OF
BASKETBALL
Basketball was invented during the school
year of 1891-92 at Springfield College in
Springfield, Massachusetts.
The international Young Men’s Christian
Association (YMCA) Training school (now
Spring College).
 HISTORY OF BASKETBALL

Conceived the idea of

attaching peach baskets
at opposite ends of the
gym on the track that
encircle the playing floor.
 Dr. James A. Naismith
he was Teaching Physical
Education at the International
YMCA Training School in
Springfield, Massachusetts.
As the legend goes, he felt that
the winter sports available
weren’t as physically strenuous
as summer sports like
rugby, soccer, and lacrosse, so
on December 5, 1891, he
created basketball.
 The First Basketball Game
The sport began when Naismith
separated his class into two
teams and nailed two peach
baskets to the balcony, about 10
feet off the floor, in the school
gym.
The class was given a soccer ball
and told that it would count as a
goal if they got it in the net.
Dribbling wasn’t initially part of
the game, but students
eventually introduced it.
 The First Basketball Game
To keep it fair, the PE
teacher created the first
13 rules of basketball, like
“A player cannot run with
the ball” and “No
shouldering, holding,
pushing, tripping, or
striking in any way the
person of an opponent.”
First Basketball Equipment
 Luther Halsey Gulick
Naismith’s supervisor and
the College’s First
physical education
director, who challenged
Naismith to invent a new
indoor game for the
school’s student to play
during long New England
winter.

 DATE EVENTS

Feb 5, 1958 The Implementation of the Modern Basketball: It was not

until the late 1950's when Tony Hinkle invented the more
visible orange-rubber basketball that is used today.
Mar 18, Dribbling Becomes Part of the Game: Once the
1959 manufacturing of basketballs became universal, the
technique of dribbling was implemented as the

professional basketball league in the world in terms of
popularity, salaries, talent, and level of competition. This
created the NBA we know today.

RULES AND REGULATION
OF BASKETBALL
 RULES AND REGULATION
1. Only five players per team on the court. In the NBA,
WNBA, and NCAA basketball, each team can play a
maximum number of five players on the court. If a
team breaks this main rule, they will lose possession
of the ball. Sometimes this inadvertently happens,
particularly at low levels of the game, when substitute
players check into the game and others don't leave
the court in time.
 RULES AND REGULATION
2. Score more than your opponent to win. To win the
game, a team must score more field goals than the
other team. A field goal refers to any basket a player
scores during gameplay. Field goals can be worth two
or three points. Field goals shot from inside the arc
that designates the three-point line on the court are
worth two points. Field goals shot from outside the arc
are worth three points. Field goals can take the form
of jump shots, layups, slam dunks, and tip-ins
 RULES AND REGULATION
3. Score within the shot clock. Teams have a
limited amount of time to shoot the ball during a
given possession. In the NBA and WNBA, teams
are allowed 24 seconds of possession before
they must shoot, while NCAA teams are allowed
30 seconds. A shot clock mounted above the
hoop on each side of the court displays and
counts down the time allotted. If the shot clock
elapses, the opposing team forfeits the ball and
becomes the defensive team.
 RULES AND REGULATION
4. Dribbling advances the ball. Basketball players may only
advance the ball by passing or dribbling (bouncing the ball on
the floor) as they move up and down the court. If a player stops
dribbling, they may not resume; instead, they must pass the ball
or shoot it. If an offensive player with possession of the ball stops
then continues dribbling before passing or shooting, the referee
will call a “double dribble,” and the opposing team gets the ball.
Additionally, players may only advance the ball by dribbling it. If
they run while holding the ball, they are traveling. Referees will
issue a traveling call, and possession of the ball will go to the
opposing team.
 RULES AND REGULATION
5. The offense has five seconds to inbound the ball. After
the offense scores a basket, the opposing team receives
possession of the ball. One of their players has to
inbound the ball from a designated spot on the sidelines
of the court to resume gameplay. The player has five
seconds to pass the ball to another player on his team,
or else the team loses possession. The defender cannot
contact the ball when the offensive player is trying to
inbound it, or the referee can issue a technical foul.
 RULES AND REGULATION
6. The offense must advance the ball. Once an
offensive team advances the ball past the half-
court line, the ball handler may not cross that
line again, or a referee will award possession of
the ball to the opposing team.
 RULES AND REGULATION
7. Ball and ballhandler must remain inbounds. During
gameplay, the player with possession of the ball must
stay within the designated inbounds lines marked on
the court. If a player steps out of bounds or touches
this line with their foot while holding the ball, the
referee will award possession to the opposing team.
Additionally, if a player shoots the ball while their foot
is touching the line and the shot is successful, it will
not count.
 RULES AND REGULATION
8. Defenders can’t interfere with a shot on a
downward trajectory. After the offensive player
shoots the ball, it is illegal for a defensive player
to interfere with it once it begins its descent
toward the rim. This interference is called a
goaltend and will result in an automatic field
goal for the offense.
 RULES AND REGULATION
9. Defenders can legally block or steal the ball.
The defending team’s goal is to prevent the
offensive team from scoring by either stealing
the ball, blocking the ball from entering the
basket, or using defences tactics to prevent an
offensive player from shooting and scoring.
 RULES AND REGULATION
10. Defenders must leave the paint after three seconds.
The area directly in front of the basket is sometimes
referred to as "the paint" or "inside the key." Offensive
players may not camp out in this area waiting for the ball or
an offensive rebound. Any individual player can spend a
maximum of three seconds at a time in the space before
they have to move. Once they step out of the paint, they
can return. If the referee notices a player hovering in the
paint for over three seconds, the team will receive a three-
second violation.
 RULES AND REGULATION
11. Each team is allotted a certain number of fouls. The NBA
allows each team a total of five fouls per quarter. Once a team
surpasses this allotment, they go “into the bonus,” which means
the officials will award the opposing team with free throws for
every additional foul that a player commits in that quarter of play.
In the NCAA, these foul shots are known as "one and one"
shots, which means that if a player makes the first free throw,
they receive a second free throw. If they miss the first free throw,
either team can rebound the errant shot and claim possession.
After 10 team fouls, the opposing team gets a "double bonus,"
which means they get to take two foul shots.
 RULES AND REGULATION
12. Illegal contact results in a foul. When a basketball player
commits illegal physical contact against an opposing player,
the referees will call a personal foul. Most player fouls
involve contact that impedes an opposing player's gameplay.
When a player fouls another player on an opposing team in
the act of shooting, the referee rewards the fouled player
with unguarded free throws from the foul line. Each
successfully made free throw counts for one point. Referees
can assess coaches with fouls for unsportsmanlike acts,
such as using profanity to dispute a missed call.
 RULES AND REGULATION
13. Illegal contact results in a personal foul. A personal foul is
an infraction that violates the rules of the game. Players can
incur personal fouls by pushing, blocking, or striking another
player in the act of shooting. Shooting fouls result in free throw
attempts for the fouled player. If a defender fouls a shooter
attempting a two-point shot, the shooter will receive two free
throws. If a shooter is fouled during a three-point shot attempt,
they will receive three free throws. If the player makes the shot
they were attempting at the time of illegal contact, the basket
counts, and the shooter will receive one free throw.
 RULES AND REGULATION
14. Excessive contact results in a flagrant foul. Flagrant fouls refer to a
personal foul that can potentially injure the opponent. These fouls carry
heavier penalties, such as fines, immediate ejection, and even
suspension. There are two types of flagrant fouls: flagrant foul—penalty
(1) and flagrant foul—penalty (2). Flagrant 1 refers to fouls involving
unnecessary contact. The penalty for this foul type is a free throw for
the opponent and possession of the ball. Flagrant 2 refers to any foul
involving unnecessary and excessive contact. Officials perform an
instant-play review to determine if an act qualifies for the flagrant 2
penalty. If it does, the player at fault is assessed a fine and an
automatic ejection from the game, and the opposing team receives free
throws and possession of the ball.
 RULES AND REGULATION
15. Charges and illegal screens result in an offensive foul.
An offensive foul is a personal foul that offensive players
commit when their team possesses the ball. The two most
common offensive fouls are charging and illegal ball
screens. Charging is when an offensive player makes
contact with a defensive player who has planted their feet in
a locked position. An illegal screen is when a non-ball-
handling offensive player moves while setting a screen for
their teammate to prevent the defender from moving about
the court.
 RULES AND REGULATION
16. Certain rule violations result in technical fouls. A technical
foul is a penalty for violating the game’s administrative rules.
Officials commonly assess technical fouls for fighting and
verbal abuse, often assessing coaches with this penalty if they
are too abrasive when disputing a call. Technical fouls result in
a free throw and a change of possession. If a player or coach
receives two technical fouls in the same game, the referee will
eject them. Players with a long history of technical fouls risk
suspension from the regular season and even playoff games.
