Yes, I know you've been checking your alerts to find the answers to the basketball quiz! <grin>
1. James Naismith
2. 9 - Naismith had a class of 18 men
3. Peach baskets - they were attached to balcony railings at each end of the gym.
4. Soccer ball
5. 1891 and just four days before Christmas that year Naismith posted his 13 rules of basketball and invited students to try his new game.
6. The janitor kept a ladder nearby to retrieve the ball after the ball landed in the baskets.
Thanks for playing!

So does Naismith or the Janitor get the credit for finally figuring out the advantage to cutting the bottom out of the basket? <grin>
