Women basketball started in 1892 which is actually just less than a year after the game was invented. Back then women wear concealing and constricting clothes for basketball. They then have a hard time moving because of the dresses they are wearing. Until bloomers were introduced at Sophie Newcomb College in New Orleans by Clara Gregory Baer in 1896. If Dr. J was the inventor of the game, it was a visionary named Senda Berenson who is responsible for letting women play the basketball. And to please the society, she made some variations with the rules to make it easier for women to play the game.

The audio streaming of former college basketball coaches Dan Searl and Kevin Cantwell puts a whole new light to the game of basketball that so many people love. In their exchange of views, they talk about the statistics and how the game has moved to a phase where the mid-range game of basketball has become a lost art because many players opt to drive and dunk the ball or stop on a dime to shoot the three pointer.

The mid-range game of basketball is statistically more effective and pleasant to watch (although not as exciting) with the current trend. The art of shooting is extremely emphasized in this type of game and with the interview with Mike Brown, the NOAH Shooting System representative; they will try to rationalize the lost art of shooting.

Getting in the Record Books

It is the dream of every athlete to be a part of the game�s history by etching his name on the record books. However, getting into the record books may not be as easy as just having a prolific game. In the case of the National Basketball Association (NBA), a player has to meet some minimum statistical requirements before his name can get into the record books.

A player who plays in a game needs to be used for at least 25 minutes of playing time before his other statistics are considered. He also needs to score at least eighteen points for his score to be part of the record books. So a player who scores twenty points in twenty minutes of playing time does not meet the minimum minutes played even if he surpasses the minimum points needed.

In basketball, there exists a lot of statistical categories like point scored, blocked shots, steals, assists and more. Players are even given awards based on their excellence on a certain statistical category and the player with the best statistical record of all is awarded as the best player.

An often neglected statistical category is possessions. The number of possessions in a game is an important category but have you ever heard of a team being awarded under this category? Remember that the goal in basketball is to have a higher score than your opponent by either having more field goals or limiting the score of your opponent. Here lies the importance of possessions you have, the more opportunity for you to score and lesser for the other team.
