Olympics Basketball

As this is the year of the first recorded olympics it was Olympia

If your a TRUE basketball player, you should automatically be able to tell if it is a 29.5 (size 7) basketball, BUT, if not, you can ask the person in the store, or it should say size 7 somewhere on the ball.

Yes, Google the Dream Team. Good example of a decent Olympic Team.
Yes, American style basketball is one of the ports in the summer olympics.

TEAM RICHMOND U12 the best team in virginia

In Rugby Union (15 a-side, as opposed to Rugby League which is 13 a-side), the number 9 shirt is worn by the scrum-half

There is no High School shot clock. Has been voted down... would like to hear more.

18-24 square feet that is 3 by 6 feet

The size is the biggest difference. Also the grooving on it, and the colours of it differ from a NBA-official ball.

After 36 years of undefeated dominance, Team USA lost its first Olympic basketball game at the 1972 Munich gold medal game to the USSR. The last minute of the contest was and remains one of the most controversial finishes in Olympic history.

That was the 1992 Games in Barcelona.

300cm is the best estimate for a basketball hoop

The USA hockey team did. They beat the Soviet union. That was the miracle on ice. Then they went on and beat Finland and a bunch of other teams to get the gold medal.

No. Women's basketball began in 1892 at Smith College when Senda Berenson, a physical education teacher at Smith, modified James Naismith's rules for women. Naismith invented basketball in late 1891. In 1895, the game of netball was invented by Clara Gregory Baer. Netball was derived from basketball and designed to be a non contact sport. Women were very instrumental in helping to develop and popularize the game of basketball.
