"...Basketball was never meant to be coached, anyway, only to be played."
Hey if itÂ’s good enough for the inventor, It's good enough for us.!!!!!

Hmmmmm... games played with no coaches but still officiated - intramurals and church leagues. Games played with no coaches and no officials - streetball. I wonder if that's what Naismith envisioned.

From what I know of the original rules for basketball, it was worse than streetball. Any ball that went oob was to be put in play by the first player who could get to it. Even if it went up into the balcony at the fieldhouse where they played. Can you imagine the mayhem?
