Book Description
Of all major intercollegiate sports, basketball remains preeminently the one that has never had to yield pride of place to its professional competition. This book is a lavishly illustrated, fact-filled celebration both of college basketball's extraordinary past and of its equally extraordinary present. In its pages you will meet again all the great coaches and their fabulous teams. Here, too, you will see the game-transforming superstars once again in action. Add to that a cornucopia of statistics, nostalgia, historic pictures, and an exciting narrative by one of the nation's foremost sportswriters, and this book becomes a work that few real fans will be able to resist.

Book Description
James Naismith was teaching physical education at the Young Men's Christian Association Training College in Springfield, Massachusetts, and felt discouraged because calisthenics and gymnastics didn't engage his students. What was needed was an indoor wintertime game that combined recreation and competition. One evening he worked out the fundamentals of a game that would quickly catch on. Two peach half-bushel baskets gave the name to the brand new sport in late 1891. Basketball: Its Origin and Development was written by the inventor himself, who was inspired purely by the joy of play. Naismith, born in northern Ontario in 1861, gave up the ministry to preach clean living through sport. He describes Duck on the Rock, a game from his Canadian childhood, the creative reasoning behind his basket game, the eventual refinement of rules and development of equipment, the spread of amateur and professional teams throughout the world, and the growth of women's basketball (at first banned to male spectators because the players wore bloomers). Naismith lived long enough to see basketball included in the Olympics in 1936. Three years later he died, after nearly forty years as head of the physical education department at the University of Kansas. This book, originally published in 1941, carries a new introduction by William J. Baker, a professor of history at the University of Maine, Orono. He is the author of Jesse Owens: An American Life and Sports in the Western World.
