Sidenote...since B-Ball is played w/ 10 players and always has been, wouldn't the first player actually be the first 10 players? Boy this could get interesting.....
Hey JR...did you WHACK Naismith in the first game?

As I recall from stuff I've read, Naismith had 18 men in that class, so he divided them up 9 to a side. The five per side came later.
Also, I suspect that JR worked with Naismith that first game.
