Dr. James Naismith), the inventor of basketball. 1891 James Naismith in Springfield, Mass., (also translated Springfield) YMCA International Training School (later Springfield College) served as a physical education teacher, but also the McGill University football coach. 1898 Naismith came to the University of Kansas study in Denver, after he became a professor and the University of Kansas's first basketball coach. In August 1936, Naismith attended the Berlin Olympics, was awarded the honorary chairman of the International Basketball Federation.
James Naismith[1] (November 6, 1861 – November 28, 1939) was a Canadian and naturalized American sports coach and innovator. Naismith invented the sport of basketball in 1891 and is often credited with introducing the first football helmet. Naismith wrote the original basketball rulebook, founded the University of Kansas basketball program, and lived to see basketball adopted as an Olympic demonstration sport in 1904 and as an official event at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin.
Following a number of years as a faculty member and part-time basketball coach—during the sport's fledgling years (1898–1907)—at the University of Kansas, Naismith moved on to further academic obligations at that university, where he also served as the Athletic Director for the Kansas Jayhawks.
Naismith's contributions to basketball have earned him several posthumous honours, such as in the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame, the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame, the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, the Ontario Sports Legends Hall of Fame, the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, the McGill University Sports Hall of Fame, the Kansas State Sports Hall of Fame and the FIBA Hall of Fame. The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame was named in Naismith's honour
