During basketball's early years, players often used a simple woven basket as a net
About a decade into the sports life, people began using metal hoops with nets, however the nets were closed so much like the peach basket, players had to retrieve the ball after each basket.
By 1906, people began cutting out the bottom of the netting, allowing the ball to simply fall through. This design has remained almost entirely unchanged to this day.
