我が国バスケットボールの戦術のシステム化に関する史的研究：李想白『指導籠球の理論と実際』（昭和5年）を基軸として

抄録

The author has examined the systemization of Japanese basketball tactics in the beginning of the Showa period, based on the book “Shido Rokyu no Riron to Jissai (Theory and Practice of Basketball Coaching)” (1930) by Sang-Beck Lee.

Upon examining the tactics of basketball in the beginning of the Showa period, it became clear that systemization had begun even before Jack Gardner was invited from America to hold courses in 1933. The word “system” was mentioned in a technical book on basketball in 1928, and in 1930, Sang-Beck Lee himself made mention of his plans of systemization of basketball tactics.

One background aspect of the systemization of tactics in the beginning of the Showa period is the change of tactics into five-man offense and defense during this period.

In addition, Sang-Beck Lee criticized the basketball tactics used around 1930 as “selfish plays” and “very undisciplined.” That he criticized the games in this way was surely not due to a hesitation to incorporate personal techniques into the tactics, but because he understood that putting personal techniques to good use made for high-quality tactics.
