Not all students are able to continue their education to the college level. Earning a college degree can be difficult. Many students therefore apply for financial aid; if they are talented in sports, they look into sports scholarships, which could also serve as a stepping stone for a career in professional sports. They test their probability of availing such scholarships during the recruitment period. Students who are gifted in basketball, for instance, try out in college basketball recruiting.
Students trying out in college basketball recruiting need to be adept at a number of skills. One of the most basic of these is shooting form the three-point field goal.
Concerns regarding slow and uninspired play prompted the invention of the 24-second shot clock by the NBA in 1954, a rule that required a team with possession of the basketball to take a shot at the opposing basket within the 24-second time limit. Both the NCAA and international basketball made similar shot-clock provisions in later years, a factor contributing to the offensive aspects of the sport.
The claim to James Naismith, the inventor of basketball as a native son is made by Canada, where Naismith was born and educated, as well as by the United States, which is the physical birthplace of the game as well as Naismith's home for the final 50 years of his life. The inventor lived long enough to see the sport develop into a true world game, as Naismith attended the first-ever Olympic basketball game in Berlin in 1936. As the athletic director at the University of Kansas for 39 years, Naismith was a mentor to the legendary American university coach Forrest Allen (1885-1974).
The Internet has proven to be a useful venue for both students in college basketball and coaches involved in the process of college basketball recruiting. There are many websites and online forums wherein students and scouts can come together and interact. D1Athletes is an online community wherein high school athletes and coaches alike can share and exchange information they need during college basketball recruiting. D1Athletes offers them a place to build an online presence and gain important public exposure.
