  • Sport History
    Cairns Convention Centre Basketball (CCV) Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre (TEN) Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCE) Sport History Basketball Origins and the sport today: Basketball was invented by Canadian James Naismith in Massachusetts in 1891. The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) was established in Geneva in 1932 and the first world championships were held in 1950. The sport has grown to be hugely successful, with more than 450 million people playing basketball worldwide. Dominated by the USA at world level, the success of the country’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has been a huge factor in the sport’s global explosion. The widespread recruitment of players from around the world has only added to its appeal. Professionals first took part in the Olympic Games in 1992 in Barcelona. There are well established professional leagues throughout the world, including a EuroLeague, a Chinese league (CBA) and an Australian league (NBL). Basketball at the Commonwealth Games: Basketball is an optional sport at the Commonwealth Games, meaning it is up to the host federation to decide whether it should be on the program. The sport has a brief Commonwealth history, having only previously appeared at the Melbourne 2006 Games. Australia won gold, in both men’s and women’s competitions, while New Zealand and England walked away with silver and bronze medals, respectively. Nigeria just missed out on a podium spot, finishing fourth in both competitions. Basketball in Australia: Basketball is one of the most popular team participation sports in the country. Basketball Australia figures put the number at one million men, women, boys and girls - a larger participation base than cricket, rugby league and rugby union.

Whereas previous years saw separate entities, this season marks the debut of a united national panel and the selection for 2016/17 represents the elite level referees in Australia to work within the nation’s top men’s and women’s competitions. The NPRC receives input from the NBL, Basketball Australia and FIBA Oceania as well as state and national Junior Championship representation. “We now have a collective voice rather than just one,” said Basketball Australia Officials Manager, Peter Carey. “A committee that discusses the nominations from each state to formulate a national panel means the net is cast a lot wider and a greater range of referees can be considered for appointment.” Included in this year’s selection are three Olympic referees in Vaughan Mayberry, Michael Aylen and Scott Beker with Mayberry and Beker having recently featured at the Rio Olympics.
