		James analyzed the games of the day (rugby, lacrosse, football, soccer, hockey and baseball) and observed that the larger ball didn't move as swift as the smaller balls, so he chose the soccer ball for the new game.

	James Naismith Summary
		When Naismith realized what the coach was doing, he decided that even though this was not his original intention, it made sense (women in the 1890s were not particularly athletic, as a general rule) and said that the division of field rule applied to women, but not to men.
		Naismith was not thrilled with these changes to the game, especially the elimination of the center jump, which he felt gave a disadvantage to the team that had scored.
		Naismith first began to formulate the principles of basketball in an attempt to help satisfy the needs of a group of students in a class in the Training School's Secretarial Department—many of the older men in the class became bored with the exercises they were forced to do to fulfill the school's physical education requirement.
