Basketball Trivia

College basketball today is much different from the first college
hoops game played more than 100 years ago. Here are some of the major
rule changes in college basketball:

(1) In 1913, the bottom of the basketball net is left open for the
first time - meaning it was no longer necessary to retrieve the ball
from the net, once a basket was scored.

(2) In 1920, the backboards were moved two feet from the wall of the
court. Before this rule change, players would "climb" the padded wall
to sink baskets.

(3) In 1967, the slam dunk was made illegal! (What were they
thinking?) The much-loved dunk was made legal again in 1976.

(4) In 1986, the three-point field goal is introduced with the three-
point line set at 19 feet, 9 inches from the center of the basket.
