A Brief Look at the History of Basketball

http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0875085.html
  This web site has some good information, but I wish I could find more information about earlier in history, or even just more history in general. I feel like this is just a brief overview of what happened, and would like to find a web site with more detailed information. I would like to know things such as the specific players that were on the first professional basketball league, or what the coaches were like, if they even had coaches. Also some of the specific rules that were in the game, how many referees they had, and if people were very supportive of it or if they thought it was pointless. If I find some information like this I will definitely be posting it!

  Growing up in a small community that loves sports, I have been influenced by them my whole life. Even though I play all sports and enjoy all of them for different reasons, basketball has to be my all- time favorite. I have played the sport since I was in second grade and fell in love with it at a young age. I continued to play the sport through Jr. high and now that I am in high school I don't plan on stopping. This sport has taught me many life long lessons that will stick with me forever. I have learned to never give up, to be supportive of other people, and most importantly to not get down on myself when I make a mistake because we are all human.I have created goals for myself in basketball this year, and I plan to accomplish them all. I thought that by creating this blog I could learn more about the sport and maybe even gain new skills to use while I'm playing.
