Message: [QUOTE="ThisJustIn, post: 2183548, member: 382"] I wonder what James Naismith would say about this: [B]circa 1901:[/B] The peach basket hoop was replaced by a metal rim and netting about a decade after the sport was invented. The netting was closed at the bottom, so much like the peach basket, players had to climb up and retrieve the ball from the net each time someone scored. However, by [B]1906,[/B] the bottom of the net was cut out to allow the ball to fall through the hoop. [/QUOTE]
