thankyou Mick, seems like your in the know, how about off-shoots of b-ball? are there any sports that have diverged from a b-ball state?

40 years ago in gym class, we played Commando ball.
We used a basketball and two baskets.
The class was split 20 against 20.
All Contact was legal.
Dribbling wasn't necessary.
The boundaries were the gym.
I don't remember if a basket was worth one or two points.
We didn't have the three-point shot at that time.
