  • From the Triangle to the Cage
    © COPYRIGHT By Curtis Matthew Harris 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED i FROM THE TRIANGLE TO THE CAGE: BASKETBALL’S CONTESTED ORIGINS, 1891 - 1910 BY Curtis Matthew Harris ABSTRACT As the United States increasingly urbanized in the late nineteenth century, white middle- class Americans faced crises of gender, racial, and class status. Fears of young men and women absorbing improper values and behavior from urban life abounded. Countering this dirty and rough landscape, middle-class reformers developed increasingly sophisticated physical education programs that promoted “clean sport” as a way to inoculate themselves from urban ills. Creating the sport of basketball in 1891 was a calculated attempt by these reformers at rescuing society through clean sport. Nonetheless, by 1910, it was apparent that basketball was not the panacea for promoting middle-class conceptions of clean sport and proper living. As basketball spread across the country, rough play, riots, and professionalism undermined the “respectable” intentions middle-class reformers had invested in the game. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I must acknowledge my parents and the proud example they set for me. Through Beatrice Luchin, an ardent educator, and Dennis Harris, a firm advocate of parks and recreation programs, I have learned that my life is to serve and do right by others. To them I am forever indebted. Other persons through the years have helped make me the person and scholar I am. Three of my grade school teachers – Mickey Shannon, Gwendolyn Cash, and Jeff Cherry – deserve special praise for furthering my love of history at a young age. Callie Hawkins, Jamie Cooper, and Erin Carlson-Mast at President Lincoln’s Cottage provided my first opportunity to work as a public historian and have continuously been supportive of academic and professional endeavors.

  • 3 on 3 Basketball Study Guide
    3 on 3 Basketball Study Guide HISTORY AND INFORMATION: Basketball was first introduced in 1891 by Dr. James A. Naismith at the YMCA College in Springfield, Massachusetts. A peach basket was first used as the hoop. The game spread rapidly across the nation. Basketball was finally adopted into the Olympics in 1904. The traditional game of basketball consists of five players on a team. There are two forwards, two guards, and one center. The game is started with a jump ball between the two opponents (usually the centers) at center court. After each field goal the ball is put into play by the team not scoring, from the out-of-bounds area behind the basket at which the score was made. The high school game consists of four-eight minute quarters. Two basketballs will fit inside a regulation basketball hoop at the same time. The men’s ball is 29.5 inches and the women’s ball is 28.5 inches. The basket is 10 feet off of the ground. The free throw line is 15 feet from the basket. 3 - ON - 3 BASKETBALL RULES: Except as designated below, any rules or play interpretations not discussed below will be covered by NFHS Basketball Rules. EQUIPMENT: All players must wear non-marking court shoes during the course of play. No hard protective casts and/or jewelry (rings, watches, chain necklaces, etc.) shall be worn. All Intramural basketball teams are required to wear pennies. GAME TIME/SCORING: Teams keep their own score. The first team to score twenty-one (21) points or the team leading at the end of the 10-minute time limit will win the game.

  • Confessions of a Basketball Star
    CONFESSIONS OF A BASKETBALL STAR By James A. Johnson©2015 Success is Preparation Meeting Opportunity November 11th is a special day in America that honors veterans who gave their lives for democracy. But, to this writer it has an additional significance. November 11, 1954 is the day my family moved to West Hartford. At that time, West Hartford was one of the wealthiest incorporated towns, per household income, in the United States, after Beverly Hills, California and Shaker Heights, Ohio. Connecticut is still the wealthiest state in median family income in the United States. Gotcha! Many of you are thinking, I didn’t know that. Keep in mind there were and still are a plethora of wealthier areas and communities in America, but not necessarily incorporated towns. Today, Greenwich, New Canaan, Darien, Ridgefield and Westport, Connecticut surpass West Hartford in wealth, with such illustrious names as Judge Judy, David Letterman, Paul Newman (deceased), Martha Stewart, Regis Philbin, Kennedy/Skakel, Diana Ross, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, Ray Dalio (Hedge Fund-Bridgewater Assoc’s), Frank Gifford – NFL N.Y. Giants (deceased) and others too numerous to mention. As of the 2010 Census, New Canaan, a bastion of Fairfield County wealth tops the Gold Coast ranking at $220,000 in median family income. West Hartford is 45th at $102,000. But, according to Forbes in 2014 the wealthiest neighborhood in America or richest zip code 06830 with an average income that tops $610, 000 per year is Greenwich’s Golden Triangle. Although West Hartford’s household income ranking is not as high as it was back in the day, the school system remains one of the best in the United States.

Wireless.Generation,.Inc..All.rights.reserved. CHAPTER ONE Have you ever heard the words “he shoots, he scores”? Have you felt sneakers thumping across wooden floors? Have you ever seen a buzzer-beating winning shot? That’s when a team scores to win at the last second. Have you ever watched a player slam dunk? That’s when a player jumps high and pushes the ball through the hoop. If you have, then you are one of the millions of people who have enjoyed the game of basketball. Title: Slam Dunk: The Story of Basketball Selection: 4 Page: 1 Around the world, basketball has become a favorite sport for many. From the streets of London to the mountains of China, people practice slam dunks. From the city parks of New York to the plains of Africa, people dream of making a winning shot. Even if you have never played or watched a basketball game, you may have some idea of what it’s about. You need teams, a ball, and hoops that hang high on each side. Players dribble the ball across a court that is rectangular. You make points by getting the ball through the hoop. Title: Slam Dunk: The Story of Basketball Selection: 4 Page: 2 Did you know that people have been playing basketball for a long time? Basketball began more than 115 years ago with just a few kids and their teacher.
