On this day on 1868, Senda Berenson, the Mother of Women's Basketball, was born! Berenson adapted the rules of Dr. James Naismith’s original game of “Basket Ball” for women while director of physical education at Smith College. She authored and published the first basketball guide for women. In her original rules, the court was split into three regions with players having an assigned region. Players could not dribble more than three times, hold the ball for more than three seconds, or snatch the ball from an opponent.  #wbhof #womensbasketball #basketballhistory

Ever played basketball inside a museum? Come with me as I tour the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and walk through the FULL EVOLUTION of women’s basketball, from old-school uniforms and wooden backboards to the era when coaching wasn’t allowed during women’s games…🤯🏀

Uljana Semojonova, Class of 1999, has passed away. Semojonova's height and size made her a dominant presence on the floor. She won Olympic gold in 1976 and 1980 with the Soviet Union, three world titles and the European crown 10 times. The WBHOF will put a memorial wreath at her photo in the WBHOF Hall of Honor for the next month to mourn the loss of a great player and Inductee.
