Coaches Digest: Why basketball is a 5 on 5 sport ?
Why basketball is a 5 on 5 sport ?
Why we never play just 4 on 4 game or 6 on 6 ? Why it's an impair sport ?
Actually, the first game wasn't 5 on 5. When Dr. Naismith invented the game, the entire court was filled.
There are stories of games with as many as 60 people playing at the same time. The dribble did not exist.
Basketball is a game that slowly evolved into its present form. In the beginning, it more closely resembled indoor soccer - except that it was played by passing with the hands instead of feet.
Women originally played 6 on 6 with with the floor divided in three parts. There were two guards, two forwards and two centers. Guards never shot in the game, and the forwards, could dribble only twice. However, the defense couldn't swipe at the ball unless it was in the lane.
You can see how the position names we use today are based on that early configuration.
Crazy rules, but it produced some outstanding basketball. For more details, go to Granny Basketball where this style is still played today.
Dr. Naismith did not like the eventual 5 on 5 format- he felt it was too much sprinting for individuals and worried that the physical strain was more than a player could handle without serious physical repercussions.
