What in the world was Dr. James Naismith thinking when he nailed 2 peach baskets up, split his class of 18 up, and gave them a soccer ball.
His first thought was probably I better find something for these kids to do before I get fired. His YMCA boss gave him 14 days to come up with something for his rowdy class to do. Letting them loose outside was not an option.
If Dr. Naismith had not been pressured by his boss in December 1891 to come up with a game, what in the word would I be passionate about all these years.
