To be honest, I do not remember reading in any official NBCUSC, NFHS, or NCAA publication that addresses this.

It appears that around 1893, metal rims were starting to be used and that peach baskets were finally put to rest around 1906. Since this information comes from various websites whose authenticity cannot be confirmed I would not bet the house on the information I have just posted.
