What I find amusing in this video is the fan shaped backboards.

I graduated from H.S. in 1969 and started playing when I was 9 years old being that being that our next door neighbor coached the boys' varsity basketball and golf teams and later the girls' varsity golf team. I attended H.S. basketball games early on and never saw a fan shaped backboard. Even the small farm schools in the county in which I lived had rectangular backboards in the late 1950s and on.
