Dear UNCbasketball.com visitor,
About five years ago, this diehard Tar Heel fan sought a forum with which to both communicate with those who shared a passion for Carolina basketball and at the same time pursue career aspirations as a budding sports journalist. The Internet provided the ideal venue.
The web site began as a ragged collection of photos, logos, news and links on a free server. A counter recorded the dozen or so who would happen upon the small site - and I began to get to know the small group of visitors, providing updates for the likes of Terri, Rick, Mike and company.
Over time, the site's content increased and, by word of mouth, the site's audience grew. I began to find that Tar Heel fans enjoyed the grassroots effort and some even volunteered to participate. "I" became "we," as fans contributed editorials, game write-ups, photos, etc. Michelle jumped on board less than two years ago, bringing technical expertise and a professional design to the site. And then we added a message board, which took on a life of its own. The once 20 daily visitors to UNCbasketball.com has now become a community of over 10,000.
This brief recollection of the site's history brings us to the summer of 2001 and an important announcement. We've made the decision to join forces with the publication Inside Carolina. We will continue to present the same blitz of daily information, but now with the addition of press pass access to provide on-location game coverage of the Tar Heel season - and under the Inside Carolina heading.
Understand that this was not an easy decision for me. I have endured some sleepless nights and have spent hours on end debating the decision. This is a difficult change, but I am confident that this is the best move for both the future of the site and my own future.
Please take a few minutes to read the following FAQ I've put together which hopefully will address any questions you might have about this development. If you still have questions, or just want to send me some feedback, please e-mail me.
1. Why are you doing this?
Post-college life is rapidly approaching, and with that in mind, I knew I was going to have to make a monumental decision about the site. Over the past year, the site's financial situation has been very stressful. Our rapidly growing bandwidth meant a huge server bill. We greatly appreciate the sponsors who stepped forward and kept the site alive. Simply put: without them, the site would have died last year. And, in addition, we're also very thankful for the dedication of the visitors who dutifully clicked ads to keep the site's heart ticking for the past six months.
Also, the need to change the name of the site has been hanging over our heads for some time now. The Collegiate Licensing Company has threatened legal action (because "UNC" is trademarked) and the University wouldn't recognize our site for similar reasons. The domain name was going to need to be changed shortly, regardless.
With the upcoming changes in my life, I had anticipated several possibilities, among the most likely options included turning over the operation of the site to someone else or the painful prospect of simply ending the site and walking away. I have received a number of offers for the site in the past, but I turned them all down because they would have irrevocably and irretrievably altered what UNCbasketball.com was and is - a great community.
This opportunity with Inside Carolina is qualitatively different, a chance to retain the integrity of the site, whereby the key features and, most importantly the community can be retained. It is the ideal situation I had been looking for, but just hadn't pictured as a possibility.
2. So, what is Inside Carolina all about?
My relationship with Inside Carolina now comes full circle. Back in the summer of 1995, I submitted a Fan's View column about Rasheed Wallace that was published in IC. Less than a year later, I wrote a column about a run-in with Jerry Stackhouse that appeared on their web site. Shortly thereafter, UNCbasketball.com was born.
I have been long-time friends with the magazine's co-editors, J.B. Cissell (a former UNCb writer) and Tommy Ashley, and the publication has a new owner, Buck Sanders - of The Tar Pit fame - who has a great vision for the magazine and site, which is right in line with our beliefs.
3. How will this change the content?
This merger is not a change in ownership. I still own and run the basketball content and Michelle is still Assistant Editor/Producer, under the Inside Carolina heading. The content won't be hurt by the merger - but rather improved. I'll be providing the same extensive daily updates, but now the site will have something we didn't have before - media access. The addition of season locker-room coverage will make our site THE home for basketball fans (and football fans, too, since Buck and Co. will be providing in-depth Tar Heel gridiron coverage).
The name won't be the same, but the UNCbasketball.com content and community will live on at Inside Carolina.
4. Does this mean you'll be using the cookie-cutter network layout?
Unfortunately, a drawback of this move is that we have less freedom in terms of design. It might not look as good, but our top priority has always been content, not design, and the content will be enhanced. Freed from the administrative hassles and distractions, we'll be able to focus our energy on further improving the site. We'll do our best to make the information both presentable and easy to access.
5. What about the message board?
The message board has become an integral part of UNCbasketball.com - a community of thousands of fans and journalists - and it will continue at Inside Carolina. All five moderators (myself, Michelle, Brownie, Jetson and TexasHeel) have agreed to stay onboard.
IC's EZBoard software is admittedly not as good as the UBB software we currently use, but it's quite similar and we'll make every effort to make the posters comfortable in the new location.
Everyone will need to register at the new location, and we'll try to ensure that posters retain their user names. We are not sure yet if we will be able to restore post counts and we sincerely apologize for the major inconvenience.
6. Will the Inside Carolina site cost money to read?
The network that Inside Carolina belongs to does indeed take part in premium content. A few months ago, we made an appeal to visitors to help us find sponsors, and though there were many replies, in the end we added only one new sponsor. The prospect of continuing to rely on banner ad click-throughs just to keep our heads above water is not appealing. There is going to need to be a little profit from the site, in light of the daily dedication the site requires. UNCbasketball.com has never been about making money - but I hope you understand that at this stage in my life I can't invest so much time with no financial yield.
I must acknowledge that while much of the daily UNCbasketball.com information that you've grown accustomed to will remain free of charge, some of our features will now be part of a subscription fee. The much-improved daily news, game reports, commentary, etc. will not cost a penny. However, the recruiting information that you can't get elsewhere - our trademark scoops and tournament coverage, which will be even better - will be part of a subscription fee. Subscribers will also get exclusive football recruiting info with the same fee.
The charge will amount to mere pennies per day. We had hoped that the site could be entirely free forever, but the reality of the industry is that this is the only way to keep the site at its best. I hope that you will support our site by subscribing - you won't be disappointed.
7. When will the merger take place?
We've begun the transition today (July 14), moving files over and setting up camp at InsideCarolina.com. We're hard at work this weekend and aim to have everything up and running smoothly by the end of the weekend. We encourage message board posters to head over to the new message board (entitled "UNCbasketball") and register ASAP. As for the subscriber service, that isn't up yet - so, for now, everything is free. We'll keep you posted on subscription information. We're making every effort to make this transition as smooth as possible and we appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
We will keep UNCbasketball.com's main site and content visible during the early stages of the transition. If you maintain a site with links to UNCbasketball.com content, you will need to change those links as we will not leave up the old content permanently.
In conclusion, UNCbasketball.com is partnering with Inside Carolina to create the ultimate Tar Heel web site. I've given a lot of thought to this, and truly believe it is the best way to maintain the UNCbasketball.com community.
Sincerely,
Ben Sherman
So come on over and join us at Inside Carolina!

PowerBasketball offers information on coaching youth basketball and improving an athlete's skills. We've been on the Internet for the past 10 years and have watched as the basketball market continues to evolve. Coaching basketball has become so much more than X's and O's. It's about teaching players how to play, not how to run a play! Coaches will find valuable resources for teaching and strategies on offense and defense. Players will find invaluable information on improving individual fundamentals, on and off season conditioning, summer basketball camps, and the mental side of the game. Our knowledge base consists of coaching articles, a drill database, coaching tips, high school recruiting news, and product reviews.

Impress Coaches and Demoralize Opponents with Basketball Tips and Training
Basketball has become more popular and competitive recently. That makes it harder to make the team, get playing time, and continue on to the next level. This site contains basketball tips and training advice that will help players gain a competitive edge, as well as coaches' and peers' respect.
Whether you're a player, coach, or parent looking for tips for better basketball, basketball-tips-and-training has what you need! The knowledge has been obtained through years of personal experience and research.
This site has the advice you need! I'll help you avoid mistakes that I've made in the past and develop a confident swagger when you step onto the court that leaves others scared to face you. Sound good to you?...
Even though my #1 tip to anyone is to HAVE FUN, in sports nowadays it's "Destroy or Be Destroyed." It's more fun when you're not being made a fool of, right? Read on and get clicking to know how to destroy your opponents; If you're not, your competition is and will destroy you!
There are a number of broad topics to this site, which then lead into more skills like shooting, dribbling, passing, jumping higher, and anything else you might be looking for. Here's a quick overview:
Basketball Tips
Basketball Training
General Fitness Advice
Sports Nutrition Advice
Of course, there may be other information that may not fall under these categories, but they all tie back to becoming a better basketball player. Since all of these ultimately are tips for basketball, they do blend together.
Basketball Tips
Everything on this site falls under tips for basketball, but the content of the basketball tips pages I am speaking of is more geared toward basketball and sports IQ rather than drills and skills. These tips will make you a smarter player and include things such as decision making, techniques, positioning, and so on?
Basketball Training
Basketball training content includes drills, exercises, and other information intended to help you become a better basketball player that demoralizes others.
General Fitness Advice
This includes information that is targeted for individuals looking for basketball advice, but can also benefit individuals in other sports or promote healthier lives for non-athletes.
Core exercises, conditioning, sports vision, and muscle stretching are some of these topics that also fall under any sport, are great for basketball training, and can benefit others as well.
Sports Nutrition Advice
Sports nutrition actually falls under all of the categories because it benefits all three. Since it is important to helping all of these aspects of your game, it deserves its own categorization.
The athlete nutrition pages describe how your diet can help (or hurt) both your game and your basketball training and include great foods for athletes.
A quick note:
Basketball-tips-and-training.com is constantly adding new content, so check back often or subscribe to the blog. You can also tell me what you're looking for in "Tip Requests"
Good luck to you this season and in your quest to become a better basketball player!

SHAHRUKH BASKETBALL
Playground | Officials | How to Play | Amateur | Professional | History | Other Sites
In early December 1891, Luther Gulick, chairman of the physical education department at the School for Christian Workers (now Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, instructed physical education teacher James Naismith to invent a new game to entertain the school's athletes during the winter season. With an ordinary soccer ball, Naismith assembled his class of 18 young men, appointed captains of two nine-player teams, and introduced them to the game of Basket Ball (then two words). Naismith, who had outlined 13 original rules, dispatched the school janitor to find two boxes to be fastened to the balcony railing at opposite sides of the gymnasium, where they would serve as goals. The school janitor, however, only found two half-bushel peach baskets, and the game was played with these.
The soccer ball and the peach basket soon gave way to specialized equipment. For example, in the early days the peach baskets were closed at the bottom, meaning that someone had to climb on a ladder to retrieve the ball after a made basket. The peach basket was later replaced by a metal rim with a net hanging below, and in 1906 people began opening the netting to let the ball fall through. The first basketballs were made from panels of leather stitched together with a rubber bladder inside. A cloth lining was added to the leather for support and uniformity. The molded basketball, introduced in about 1942, was a significant advancement for the sport. The molded ball, a factory-made ball that had a constant size and shape, offered better reaction and durability, making play more consistent and the development of individual skills easier. In Naismith's original 13 rules, the ball could be batted in any direction with one or both hands, but it could not be dribbled because players could not move with the ball. Beginning in 1910 a player could dribble the ball, but could not shoot after dribbling. It was not until 1916, following heated debate, that players were allowed to shoot after dribbling.
Throughout basketball's history, no part of the game has been more monitored than the act of fouling an opponent. In basketball's early days, a player's second foul would mean removal from the game until the next field goal was made. If a team committed three consecutive fouls, the opposition would be awarded a field goal. Beginning in 1894 players were given a free throw when fouled. Beginning in 1908 players who committed five fouls were disqualified from the game. Based on the severity of the foul, the rules were soon amended so that players were awarded either two shots or one shot plus a bonus shot, which was attempted only if the first shot was made. The rules also determined that an offensive player could commit a foul by playing too aggressively.
In 1892 Lithuanian-born physical education teacher Senda Berenson Abbott introduced basketball to women, at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Because it was believed that Naismith’s version of the game could be too physically demanding for women, Berenson Abbott made the following changes to the game: The court was divided into three equal sections, with players required to stay in an assigned area; players were prohibited from snatching or batting the ball from the hands of another player; and players were prohibited from holding the ball for longer than three seconds and from dribbling the ball more than three times.
Basketball's growth spread in the United States and abroad through Young Men's Christian Associations (YMCAs), the armed forces, and colleges. Due to its simple equipment requirements, indoor play, competitiveness, and easily understood rules, basketball gained popularity quickly. In May 1901 several schools, including Yale and Harvard universities and Trinity, Holy Cross, Amherst, and Williams colleges, formed the New England Intercollegiate Basketball League. The development of collegiate leagues and conferences brought organization and scheduling to competition, and formal league play created rivalries. More importantly, collegiate leagues became a critical training ground for officials.
By the early 1900s basketball was played at about 90 colleges—most of them located in the East and Midwest. In 1905 teams from the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin traveled to New York to challenge Eastern League champion Columbia University. Columbia’s “Blue and White Five” defeated both Midwestern teams, and the idea of an intercollegiate championship was born. By 1914 more than 360 colleges offered basketball, and the sport had spread heavily into the Midwestern states.
In 1915 the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States (AAU), the NCAA, and the YMCA formed a committee to standardize rules, and during the next ten years a number of regional conferences were formed. Games between top regional teams were sometimes awarded national champion status by the press, but an official championship tournament was still many years away. Travel and scheduling difficulties and continued regional rule differences slowed the organization of a tournament that could impartially produce a national champion.
The first national collegiate tournament was held in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1937. The teams in this tournament, however, were all from the Midwest. New York, with a large fan base that generated travel funds, was the site of the NIT tournament, which was the first truly national collegiate tournament. The first NIT was held at the end of the 1937-38 season.
The NIT was promoted by members of the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association—a New York City sportswriters’ group. In 1939 a group of coaches from the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), fearing Eastern bias, organized and sponsored the first NCAA national tournament. In this tournament the University of Oregon defeated Ohio State University. The NCAA took sole control of the organization of its tournament after that first year. For the next decade, the NCAA and NIT tournaments competed to become the universally recognized national championship tournament, with the NCAA eventually winning out.
The NCAA tournament's original format, used for its first 12 years, divided the country into eight districts, each with a regional selection committee sending a team to the eight-team tournament. As the tournament gained importance, the field gradually enlarged to its present size of 64, made up of champions from a number of conferences, in addition to other successful teams.
Professional basketball began in 1896 at a YMCA in Trenton, New Jersey. A dispute between members of the YMCA team and a YMCA official led to the players forming a professional team and playing for money. In 1898 a group of New Jersey newspaper sports editors founded the National Basketball League (NBL). The NBL consisted of six franchises from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Stars of this league included Ed Wachter, who played in about 1,800 professional games, and Barney Sedran, who played on 10 championship teams in 15 years.
The Buffalo Germans, a team that won 111 straight games between 1908 and 1911, and the Original Celtics, a team that pioneered many tactics in basketball, including the development of the zone defense, were extraordinarily successful professional teams in the early 20th century. The first successful national professional league was the American Basketball League (ABL), which lasted from 1925 to 1931. The New York Renaissance, a team made up of black players, dominated the 1930s. The Rens, as the team was called, were the best team of the era, winning 88 consecutive games during one stretch. Another all-black team with similar success was the Harlem Globetrotters. The Globetrotters were founded in 1927 as a competitive team, but through the years they became known for their basketball acrobatics and humorous routines.
Although most basketball players were men, 37 states offered high school varsity basketball for women by 1925, and in 1926 the AAU formed a national tournament for women's teams. This enabled women to showcase their basketball skills after scholastic play was finished, and also to gain employment at companies that sponsored their own AAU teams. Notable players from this era of women's basketball include Babe Didrikson, Alline Banks Sprouse, and Nera White, who was one of the first two female players elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame. In 1938 the three-court game was changed to a two-court game, with six players on a team (three on offense and three on defense). Players were still prohibited from straying from their assigned areas.
In the mid-1930s another professional league called the National Basketball League (NBL) was founded, taking the same name as the earlier NBL, which had ceased operation some years before. In 1946 a group of executives in New York City formed yet another new professional basketball league, known as the Basketball Association of America (BAA). This new circuit was a direct competitor with the new NBL, with teams in New York City; Boston, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; and Detroit, Michigan. Just before the 1948-49 season, the four strongest teams in the NBL—those from Minneapolis, Minnesota; Rochester, New York; Fort Wayne, Indiana; and Indianapolis, Indiana—joined the BAA. The following season, the NBL's six surviving teams also joined the BAA, forming a three-division league that was renamed the National Basketball Association (NBA). After the 1949-50 season the NBA reduced its size and established two divisions, the forerunners to the Eastern and Western conferences that were established after the 1969-70 season.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the Minneapolis Lakers, led by center George Mikan and coached by John Kundla, won five NBA championship titles (1949, 1950, 1952-1954). In the 1950s guard Bob Cousy and forward Bob Pettit had the greatest individual impact on professional basketball. Cousy, nicknamed the Houdini of the Hardwood because of his ball-handling skills, led the NBA in assists eight straight years (1953-1960) and guided the Boston Celtics to six NBA titles (1957, 1959-1963). Pettit finished his career with a remarkable 26.4 points per game (ppg) average while leading the St. Louis Hawks to appearances in the NBA championship finals in 1957, 1958, 1960, and 1961, with the Hawks winning the title in 1958.
The Celtics dominated the NBA from 1957 to 1969. During this 13-season period, the team, coached mostly by Red Auerbach, won 11 NBA titles (1957, 1959-1966, 1968, 1969), including 8 consecutively. The Celtics had many stars, but center Bill Russell was arguably the greatest. In his 13-season career Russell averaged 15.1 ppg and 22.5 rebounds per game (rpg). Another dominant center of the time was Wilt Chamberlain. Chamberlain played for the Philadelphia Warriors, San Francisco Warriors (the team moved west in 1962), Philadelphia 76ers, and Los Angeles Lakers. He scored 100 points in a single game in 1962 and averaged 50.4 ppg for the 1961-62 season. Neither record has ever been approached by another player. Top guards of the 1960s included Oscar Robertson of the Milwaukee Bucks, Jerry West of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Walt Frazier of the New York Knicks.
The University of California, Los Angeles dominated college basketball from 1963 to 1975. Coached by John Wooden, UCLA won ten national championships during this time (1964, 1965, 1967-1973, 1975), including seven consecutively. From 1971 to 1974, UCLA won 88 consecutive games, an NCAA record. Wooden's UCLA teams featured great players such as center Bill Walton, guard Gail Goodrich, forward Jamaal Wilkes, and forward Marques Johnson. The best player to emerge from UCLA was center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was born Lew Alcindor. Abdul-Jabbar led UCLA to three straight NCAA titles from 1967 to 1969. As a professional he led the Milwaukee Bucks to an NBA title in 1971, and he led the Los Angeles Lakers to five NBA titles in the 1980s (1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988). Known for his famous sky-hook shot, Abdul-Jabbar played 20 seasons in the NBA and retired as the league's leading career scorer, with 38,387 points.
For two decades after its founding, the NBA was the only major professional basketball league. But in 1967 the American Basketball Association (ABA) was formed. The league became known for the flashy playing style it encouraged and the distinctive red, white, and blue basketballs it used. The ABA convinced several NBA players to switch leagues, often for lucrative contracts. Probably the best player in the ABA was guard and forward Julius Erving, who later starred in the NBA. The ABA disbanded in 1976, with several of its teams joining the NBA.
In the late 1970s, the NBA experienced difficulty: The game was perceived as dull, the league's ticket sales decreased, revenue declined, and television ratings were as low as they had ever been. In March 1979, however, two collegiate players, forward Larry Bird of Indiana State University and guard Magic Johnson of Michigan State University, helped revive public interest in basketball. The two players, the stars of their teams, faced each other in the 1979 NCAA championship game, won by Michigan State. Both players went on to have distinguished NBA careers. In the 1980s Bird helped revitalize the Boston Celtics franchise, leading the team to three NBA titles (1981, 1984, 1986). Johnson did the same in Los Angeles, as he and Abdul-Jabbar guided the Lakers to five NBA championships.
In the late 1980s the Detroit Pistons emerged as a powerhouse team, featuring stars such as guard Isiah Thomas and forward Dennis Rodman. Detroit reached the NBA Finals in 1988, 1989, and 1990, capturing the title during the latter two years. Increased interest in the professional game carried over to collegiate basketball as well, as the NCAA tournament became more popular than ever.
Dramatic changes in women's basketball occurred in the late 1960s. In 1966 unlimited dribbling became legal, and in 1969 the first five-player full-court game was played. The five-player form became the official game in women's basketball in 1971. Women's basketball is now played with virtually the same rules, regulations, and styles as men's basketball, although the women use a slightly smaller ball at many levels, including college. With the changes of the late 1960s, women's basketball began a period of tremendous growth, and in 1971 the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) was founded, offering a national college basketball tournament for women.
The women’s game gained strength in the late 1970s after a law called Title IX was increasingly enforced, helping strengthen women's basketball programs. The law, passed as part of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, prohibited discrimination on the basis of gender in educational institutions receiving federal aid, meaning that women's athletic programs had to be treated as equal to men's programs. In 1978 the AIAW championship was televised, and the same year a professional league called the Women's Basketball League (WBL) made its debut. Featuring eight teams, the league lasted three years. The AIAW disbanded in 1982, but that same year the NCAA held its first national championship for women. Three years later, in 1985, the Basketball Hall of Fame began inducting female coaches, players, and contributors. These inductees include important pioneers such as Ann Meyers, who was the first woman to receive a collegiate athletic scholarship; Carol Blazejowski; Cheryl Miller; Anne Donovan; and Nancy Lieberman-Cline.
In the 1990s interest in basketball at all levels continued to grow. The most important figure in this growth was guard Michael Jordan, who is considered by many to be the greatest player ever. Jordan's exceptional basketball skills and flair for entertainment helped keep basketball in the forefront of American culture as he led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships (1991-1993, 1996-1998) and led the league in scoring a record ten times. Other great players of the 1990s included Hakeem Olajuwon, Scottie Pippen, Charles Barkley, David Robinson, Karl Malone, John Stockton, and Shaquille O'Neal. Star players of the women’s professional leagues included Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes, Teresa Edwards, Lisa Leslie, and Jennifer Azzi.
Beginning in the late 1980s, it became increasingly common for the best male collegiate players to leave college before graduating, as they chose to enter the NBA draft hoping to play professionally for large sums of money. The NBA, while affording young players this opportunity, has tried to curtail this practice. In 1995 the league enacted a limit on the amount of money a rookie could earn, called a rookie salary cap, hoping to discourage players from leaving school.
Following the 1997-98 season NBA owners and players could not agree on rules regarding a salary cap and several other issues, and the NBA owners instituted a player lockout. The dispute cancelled all league play until an agreement was reached in January 1999, resulting in a strike-shortened, 50-game season followed by a regular playoff schedule and championship series. Jordan announced his retirement from professional basketball after the labor dispute was resolved. The San Antonio Spurs, led by David Robinson and Tim Duncan, won the 1999 NBA title. The Los Angeles Lakers, featuring Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, won the 2000 league championship. Duncan and Bryant are part of the next generation of superstars that the league hopes will carry on the legacy of past heroes such as Bird, Johnson, Barkley, and Jordan.

In early December 1891, Luther Gulick, chairman of the physical education department at the School for Christian Workers (now Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, instructed physical education teacher James Naismith to invent a new game to entertain the school's athletes during the winter season. With an ordinary soccer ball, Naismith assembled his class of 18 young men, appointed captains of two nine-player teams, and introduced them to the game of Basket Ball (then two words). Naismith, who had outlined 13 original rules, dispatched the school janitor to find two boxes to be fastened to the balcony railing at opposite sides of the gymnasium, where they would serve as goals. The school janitor, however, only found two half-bushel peach baskets, and the game was played with these.
The soccer ball and the peach basket soon gave way to specialized equipment. For example, in the early days the peach baskets were closed at the bottom, meaning that someone had to climb on a ladder to retrieve the ball after a made basket. The peach basket was later replaced by a metal rim with a net hanging below, and in 1906 people began opening the netting to let the ball fall through. The first basketballs were made from panels of leather stitched together with a rubber bladder inside. A cloth lining was added to the leather for support and uniformity. The molded basketball, introduced in about 1942, was a significant advancement for the sport. The molded ball, a factory-made ball that had a constant size and shape, offered better reaction and durability, making play more consistent and the development of individual skills easier. In Naismith's original 13 rules, the ball could be batted in any direction with one or both hands, but it could not be dribbled because players could not move with the ball. Beginning in 1910 a player could dribble the ball, but could not shoot after dribbling. It was not until 1916, following heated debate, that players were allowed to shoot after dribbling.
Throughout basketball's history, no part of the game has been more monitored than the act of fouling an opponent. In basketball's early days, a player's second foul would mean removal from the game until the next field goal was made. If a team committed three consecutive fouls, the opposition would be awarded a field goal. Beginning in 1894 players were given a free throw when fouled. Beginning in 1908 players who committed five fouls were disqualified from the game. Based on the severity of the foul, the rules were soon amended so that players were awarded either two shots or one shot plus a bonus shot, which was attempted only if the first shot was made. The rules also determined that an offensive player could commit a foul by playing too aggressively.
In 1892 Lithuanian-born physical education teacher Senda Berenson Abbott introduced basketball to women, at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Because it was believed that Naismith’s version of the game could be too physically demanding for women, Berenson Abbott made the following changes to the game: The court was divided into three equal sections, with players required to stay in an assigned area; players were prohibited from snatching or batting the ball from the hands of another player; and players were prohibited from holding the ball for longer than three seconds and from dribbling the ball more than three times.
Basketball's growth spread in the United States and abroad through Young Men's Christian Associations (YMCAs), the armed forces, and colleges. Due to its simple equipment requirements, indoor play, competitiveness, and easily understood rules, basketball gained popularity quickly. In May 1901 several schools, including Yale and Harvard universities and Trinity, Holy Cross, Amherst, and Williams colleges, formed the New England Intercollegiate Basketball League. The development of collegiate leagues and conferences brought organization and scheduling to competition, and formal league play created rivalries. More importantly, collegiate leagues became a critical training ground for officials.
By the early 1900s basketball was played at about 90 colleges—most of them located in the East and Midwest. In 1905 teams from the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin traveled to New York to challenge Eastern League champion Columbia University. Columbia’s “Blue and White Five” defeated both Midwestern teams, and the idea of an intercollegiate championship was born. By 1914 more than 360 colleges offered basketball, and the sport had spread heavily into the Midwestern states.
In 1915 the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States (AAU), the NCAA, and the YMCA formed a committee to standardize rules, and during the next ten years a number of regional conferences were formed. Games between top regional teams were sometimes awarded national champion status by the press, but an official championship tournament was still many years away. Travel and scheduling difficulties and continued regional rule differences slowed the organization of a tournament that could impartially produce a national champion.
The first national collegiate tournament was held in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1937. The teams in this tournament, however, were all from the Midwest. New York, with a large fan base that generated travel funds, was the site of the NIT tournament, which was the first truly national collegiate tournament. The first NIT was held at the end of the 1937-38 season.
The NIT was promoted by members of the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association—a New York City sportswriters’ group. In 1939 a group of coaches from the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), fearing Eastern bias, organized and sponsored the first NCAA national tournament. In this tournament the University of Oregon defeated Ohio State University. The NCAA took sole control of the organization of its tournament after that first year. For the next decade, the NCAA and NIT tournaments competed to become the universally recognized national championship tournament, with the NCAA eventually winning out.
The NCAA tournament's original format, used for its first 12 years, divided the country into eight districts, each with a regional selection committee sending a team to the eight-team tournament. As the tournament gained importance, the field gradually enlarged to its present size of 64, made up of champions from a number of conferences, in addition to other successful teams.
Professional basketball began in 1896 at a YMCA in Trenton, New Jersey. A dispute between members of the YMCA team and a YMCA official led to the players forming a professional team and playing for money. In 1898 a group of New Jersey newspaper sports editors founded the National Basketball League (NBL). The NBL consisted of six franchises from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Stars of this league included Ed Wachter, who played in about 1,800 professional games, and Barney Sedran, who played on 10 championship teams in 15 years.
The Buffalo Germans, a team that won 111 straight games between 1908 and 1911, and the Original Celtics, a team that pioneered many tactics in basketball, including the development of the zone defense, were extraordinarily successful professional teams in the early 20th century. The first successful national professional league was the American Basketball League (ABL), which lasted from 1925 to 1931. The New York Renaissance, a team made up of black players, dominated the 1930s. The Rens, as the team was called, were the best team of the era, winning 88 consecutive games during one stretch. Another all-black team with similar success was the Harlem Globetrotters. The Globetrotters were founded in 1927 as a competitive team, but through the years they became known for their basketball acrobatics and humorous routines.
Although most basketball players were men, 37 states offered high school varsity basketball for women by 1925, and in 1926 the AAU formed a national tournament for women's teams. This enabled women to showcase their basketball skills after scholastic play was finished, and also to gain employment at companies that sponsored their own AAU teams. Notable players from this era of women's basketball include Babe Didrikson, Alline Banks Sprouse, and Nera White, who was one of the first two female players elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame. In 1938 the three-court game was changed to a two-court game, with six players on a team (three on offense and three on defense). Players were still prohibited from straying from their assigned areas.
In the mid-1930s another professional league called the National Basketball League (NBL) was founded, taking the same name as the earlier NBL, which had ceased operation some years before. In 1946 a group of executives in New York City formed yet another new professional basketball league, known as the Basketball Association of America (BAA). This new circuit was a direct competitor with the new NBL, with teams in New York City; Boston, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; and Detroit, Michigan. Just before the 1948-49 season, the four strongest teams in the NBL—those from Minneapolis, Minnesota; Rochester, New York; Fort Wayne, Indiana; and Indianapolis, Indiana—joined the BAA. The following season, the NBL's six surviving teams also joined the BAA, forming a three-division league that was renamed the National Basketball Association (NBA). After the 1949-50 season the NBA reduced its size and established two divisions, the forerunners to the Eastern and Western conferences that were established after the 1969-70 season.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the Minneapolis Lakers, led by center George Mikan and coached by John Kundla, won five NBA championship titles (1949, 1950, 1952-1954). In the 1950s guard Bob Cousy and forward Bob Pettit had the greatest individual impact on professional basketball. Cousy, nicknamed the Houdini of the Hardwood because of his ball-handling skills, led the NBA in assists eight straight years (1953-1960) and guided the Boston Celtics to six NBA titles (1957, 1959-1963). Pettit finished his career with a remarkable 26.4 points per game (ppg) average while leading the St. Louis Hawks to appearances in the NBA championship finals in 1957, 1958, 1960, and 1961, with the Hawks winning the title in 1958.
The Celtics dominated the NBA from 1957 to 1969. During this 13-season period, the team, coached mostly by Red Auerbach, won 11 NBA titles (1957, 1959-1966, 1968, 1969), including 8 consecutively. The Celtics had many stars, but center Bill Russell was arguably the greatest. In his 13-season career Russell averaged 15.1 ppg and 22.5 rebounds per game (rpg). Another dominant center of the time was Wilt Chamberlain. Chamberlain played for the Philadelphia Warriors, San Francisco Warriors (the team moved west in 1962), Philadelphia 76ers, and Los Angeles Lakers. He scored 100 points in a single game in 1962 and averaged 50.4 ppg for the 1961-62 season. Neither record has ever been approached by another player. Top guards of the 1960s included Oscar Robertson of the Milwaukee Bucks, Jerry West of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Walt Frazier of the New York Knicks.
The University of California, Los Angeles dominated college basketball from 1963 to 1975. Coached by John Wooden, UCLA won ten national championships during this time (1964, 1965, 1967-1973, 1975), including seven consecutively. From 1971 to 1974, UCLA won 88 consecutive games, an NCAA record. Wooden's UCLA teams featured great players such as center Bill Walton, guard Gail Goodrich, forward Jamaal Wilkes, and forward Marques Johnson. The best player to emerge from UCLA was center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was born Lew Alcindor. Abdul-Jabbar led UCLA to three straight NCAA titles from 1967 to 1969. As a professional he led the Milwaukee Bucks to an NBA title in 1971, and he led the Los Angeles Lakers to five NBA titles in the 1980s (1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988). Known for his famous sky-hook shot, Abdul-Jabbar played 20 seasons in the NBA and retired as the league's leading career scorer, with 38,387 points.
For two decades after its founding, the NBA was the only major professional basketball league. But in 1967 the American Basketball Association (ABA) was formed. The league became known for the flashy playing style it encouraged and the distinctive red, white, and blue basketballs it used. The ABA convinced several NBA players to switch leagues, often for lucrative contracts. Probably the best player in the ABA was guard and forward Julius Erving, who later starred in the NBA. The ABA disbanded in 1976, with several of its teams joining the NBA.
In the late 1970s, the NBA experienced difficulty: The game was perceived as dull, the league's ticket sales decreased, revenue declined, and television ratings were as low as they had ever been. In March 1979, however, two collegiate players, forward Larry Bird of Indiana State University and guard Magic Johnson of Michigan State University, helped revive public interest in basketball. The two players, the stars of their teams, faced each other in the 1979 NCAA championship game, won by Michigan State. Both players went on to have distinguished NBA careers. In the 1980s Bird helped revitalize the Boston Celtics franchise, leading the team to three NBA titles (1981, 1984, 1986). Johnson did the same in Los Angeles, as he and Abdul-Jabbar guided the Lakers to five NBA championships.
In the late 1980s the Detroit Pistons emerged as a powerhouse team, featuring stars such as guard Isiah Thomas and forward Dennis Rodman. Detroit reached the NBA Finals in 1988, 1989, and 1990, capturing the title during the latter two years. Increased interest in the professional game carried over to collegiate basketball as well, as the NCAA tournament became more popular than ever.
Dramatic changes in women's basketball occurred in the late 1960s. In 1966 unlimited dribbling became legal, and in 1969 the first five-player full-court game was played. The five-player form became the official game in women's basketball in 1971. Women's basketball is now played with virtually the same rules, regulations, and styles as men's basketball, although the women use a slightly smaller ball at many levels, including college. With the changes of the late 1960s, women's basketball began a period of tremendous growth, and in 1971 the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) was founded, offering a national college basketball tournament for women.
The women’s game gained strength in the late 1970s after a law called Title IX was increasingly enforced, helping strengthen women's basketball programs. The law, passed as part of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, prohibited discrimination on the basis of gender in educational institutions receiving federal aid, meaning that women's athletic programs had to be treated as equal to men's programs. In 1978 the AIAW championship was televised, and the same year a professional league called the Women's Basketball League (WBL) made its debut. Featuring eight teams, the league lasted three years. The AIAW disbanded in 1982, but that same year the NCAA held its first national championship for women. Three years later, in 1985, the Basketball Hall of Fame began inducting female coaches, players, and contributors. These inductees include important pioneers such as Ann Meyers, who was the first woman to receive a collegiate athletic scholarship; Carol Blazejowski; Cheryl Miller; Anne Donovan; and Nancy Lieberman-Cline.
In the 1990s interest in basketball at all levels continued to grow. The most important figure in this growth was guard Michael Jordan, who is considered by many to be the greatest player ever. Jordan's exceptional basketball skills and flair for entertainment helped keep basketball in the forefront of American culture as he led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships (1991-1993, 1996-1998) and led the league in scoring a record ten times. Other great players of the 1990s included Hakeem Olajuwon, Scottie Pippen, Charles Barkley, David Robinson, Karl Malone, John Stockton, and Shaquille O'Neal. Star players of the women’s professional leagues included Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes, Teresa Edwards, Lisa Leslie, and Jennifer Azzi.
Beginning in the late 1980s, it became increasingly common for the best male collegiate players to leave college before graduating, as they chose to enter the NBA draft hoping to play professionally for large sums of money. The NBA, while affording young players this opportunity, has tried to curtail this practice. In 1995 the league enacted a limit on the amount of money a rookie could earn, called a rookie salary cap, hoping to discourage players from leaving school.
Following the 1997-98 season NBA owners and players could not agree on rules regarding a salary cap and several other issues, and the NBA owners instituted a player lockout. The dispute cancelled all league play until an agreement was reached in January 1999, resulting in a strike-shortened, 50-game season followed by a regular playoff schedule and championship series. Jordan announced his retirement from professional basketball after the labor dispute was resolved. The San Antonio Spurs, led by David Robinson and Tim Duncan, won the 1999 NBA title. The Los Angeles Lakers, featuring Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, won the 2000 league championship. Duncan and Bryant are part of the next generation of superstars that the league hopes will carry on the legacy of past heroes such as Bird, Johnson, Barkley, and Jordan.

PHIL JACKSON'S
"X"
CHAMPIONSHIP HAT
(click image to order)
June 17, 2009, Denver, Colo.—When Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson won his tenth NBA championship this season, his friends and agents, the father-son team of Todd and Brian Musburger, created a special hat to surprise him. The yellow cap is inscribed with a purple X, denoting the ten championships he has won: six with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s, and four with the Los Angeles Lakers in the new millennium.
Richard B. Williams, President and CEO of the Fund, said “The American Indian College Fund is honored to have been selected by Phil Jackson to benefit from the sale of the Phil Jackson X Hat. Phil Jackson’s spirit and winning ways are intertwined with the spirit of Indian people through his generosity. Phil Jackson is the greatest NBA coach ever, and he is a great humanitarian. Throughout his career he has contributed to improving the lives of American Indian people and we are very thankful. Pilamiya Yelo! (Thank you).”
To demonstrate your support for a cause dear to Phil's heart, reserve your Phil Jackson X Hat by calling 1-303-426-8900. Hats are one-size fits most and priced at $25 plus shipping and handling.

PHIL JACKSON'S
"X"
CHAMPIONSHIP HAT
(click image to order)
June 17, 2009, Denver, Colo.—When Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson won his tenth NBA championship this season, his friends and agents, the father-son team of Todd and Brian Musburger, created a special hat to surprise him. The yellow cap is inscribed with a purple X, denoting the ten championships he has won: six with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s, and four with the Los Angeles Lakers in the new millennium.
Richard B. Williams, President and CEO of the Fund, said “The American Indian College Fund is honored to have been selected by Phil Jackson to benefit from the sale of the Phil Jackson X Hat. Phil Jackson’s spirit and winning ways are intertwined with the spirit of Indian people through his generosity. Phil Jackson is the greatest NBA coach ever, and he is a great humanitarian. Throughout his career he has contributed to improving the lives of American Indian people and we are very thankful. Pilamiya Yelo! (Thank you).”
To demonstrate your support for a cause dear to Phil's heart, reserve your Phil Jackson X Hat by calling 1-303-426-8900. Hats are one-size fits most and priced at $25 plus shipping and handling.

This is the home of the Edina Basketball Association
The '09 - '10 season marks our 38th year serving the basketball playing youth of Edina. Though much has changed over the years, our commitment to providing an opportunity for Edina youth to learn how to play the game in a competitive and fun environment remains constant. We'll once again have over 1,000 boys and girls from 1st grade through high school on the courts from November to March.
Once again, first and second graders will participate in the Pee Wee program. The Pee Wee program will include over 25 hours of activities from November through February. The Pee Wee program is focused on fun and learning basketball basics through weekend programs and scheduled games after the holiday break.
Similarly, the Development League program will run from November through February and provide third and fourth grade participants the opportunity to enhance their basketball skills with more advanced coaching and additional game playing opportunities after the holidays. Although very similar in structure and content, the Pee Wee and Developmental League programs will still maintain separate gender-specific events for the boys and girls who participate.
At 5th grade, both the boys and girls will have the option of competing for a position on one of Edina’s Travel program teams or participating in the EBA House League program. As in past years, the boy's House League will include weekly practices and intra-league play in Edina, with teams made up of boys from Edina in 5th through 12th grades. The EBA House League for girls, grades 5-8, will include weekly practices and participate in an inter-community league program with teams from Minnetonka, Wayzata and potentially other communities in the west metro area. This year, we are hoping to offer a program for high school aged girls to continue playing as well (stay tuned...).
The EBA's travel program is for both boys and girls in grades 5 through 8 with the interest and aptitude to play more often and at a higher level. Tryouts are held in September and practices/games being around the beginning of November.
All programs are described in detail elsewhere on this website, and while similar, will be designed separately for each age group of girls and boys, respectively, based upon participation levels. We encourage each and every one of you to go to the appropriate section of this website if you have specific questions regarding your child's particular program.
As with any successful association, we are only as good as our volunteers. We are lucky to begin this season with a great group of board members committed to providing a top notch experience to each and every kid playing in this year's EBA. We encourage you to get involved. Help out with your child's team... you'll be glad you did.
See you in a gym soon!!

The '09 - '10 season marks our 38th year serving the basketball playing youth of Edina. Though much has changed over the years, our commitment to providing an opportunity for Edina youth to learn how to play the game in a competitive and fun environment remains constant. We'll once again have over 1,000 boys and girls from 1st grade through high school on the courts from November to March.
Once again, first and second graders will participate in the Pee Wee program. The Pee Wee program will include over 25 hours of activities from November through February. The Pee Wee program is focused on fun and learning basketball basics through weekend programs and scheduled games after the holiday break.
Similarly, the Development League program will run from November through February and provide third and fourth grade participants the opportunity to enhance their basketball skills with more advanced coaching and additional game playing opportunities after the holidays.
