The ancient Mayans played a game in which a ball was thrown through a basket with a vertical-facing hoopattached to a wall. This Mayan game is the only known precedent for the game later invented by Dr. James A.Naismith, an instructor at the YMCAs International Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. In the winter of 1891, Naismith was approached by the head of the YMCAs physical training staff, who hadconcluded that the drop in attendance at his clubs was the result of the dearth of competitive sports in winter.Naismith probably knew nothing about the Mayans, and he was less concerned with history than with the factthat the game he was to create had to be played indoors. All games used a ball, so he decided this one must also.Since it was to be played indoors, the players should not be allowed to run with the ball, as they did in football, orkick it, or knock other players down. Naismith subsequently invented an indoor sport using a round ball and twopeach baskets, thus giving birth to the all-American game of basketball. Naismith settled on a rounded goal, rather than uprights as in football, to keep players from charging at it. Heplaced the goal above their heads to keep defenses from clustering around it. He found some peach baskets,fastened them to the wall, threw in a soccer ball, and came up with half a dozen simple rules. Because it was simple and easy to learn, basketball caught on quickly. Beginning with seven players perteam, which grew to nine, and finally settled at five, the game was being administered by the Amateur AthleticUnion. An exhibition game was played at the 1904 Olympics, and after several pioneering seasons played byYale and Penn, the National Collegiate Athletic Association established its rules officially in 1908. Soonbasketball was attracting crowds in high schools and colleges around the country. By the 1930s, professional basketball was under way, and leagues began showcasing the sports betterplayers. Players sometimes created new maneuvers. Stanford Universitys Hank Lusetti invented the jump shot,and scores soared into the sixties and seventies. In later years, Wilt Chamberlain showed that the game could beplayed above the rim, ushering in the age of the slam dunk later perfected by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Today, basketball fans love fast-paced, quick-scoring games, but more importantly, they want basketballstars.Question 3. Which of the following best describes the organisation of the passage? A.
