    Dr. James Naismith created the original 13 rules of basketball in 1892, which established the basic guidelines and objectives of the new sport. The rules covered handling of the ball, physical contact, scoring, out of bounds, fouls, roles of the umpire and referee, time limits, and determining a winner. Basketball was invented at Springfield College to provide an indoor game for students to play during the winter.

    DR.

    JAMES NAISMITH'S ORIGINAL 13 RULES OF BASKETBALL


    1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.
    2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with
    the fist).
    3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on
    which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball
    when running at a good speed if he tries to stop.
    4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be
    used for holding it.
    5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person
    of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any
    player shall count as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next
    goal is made, or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the
    whole of the game, no substitute allowed.
    6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3,4, and such as
    described in Rule 5.
    7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the
    opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the mean time
    making a foul).
    8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into
    the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or
    disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the
    basket, it shall count as a goal.
    9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by
    the person first touching it. In case of a dispute, the umpire shall throw it
    straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it
    longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game,
    the umpire shall call a foul on that side.
    10. The umpire shall be judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the
    referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to
    disqualify men according to Rule 5.
    11. The referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in
    play, in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall
    decide when a goal has been made, and keep account of the goals with any
    other duties that are usually performed by a referee.
    12. The time shall be two 15-minute halves, with five minutes' rest between.
    13. The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In
    case of a draw, the game may, by agreement of the captains, be continued
    until another goal is made.

    Note: Basketball was originally two words and these original rules were published
    January 15, 1892 in the Springfield College school newspaper, The Triangle.
