The Beach Ball Classic was founded by NBA assistant head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers, Dan D'Antoni in 1981, which started out as an eight-team affair and has evolved into a 16-team national competition. 〔http://www.nba.com/coachfile/dan_dantoni/index.html〕 == History == The Beach Ball Classic was founded in 1981 in order to bring more high school competition to the east coast. It all began as a four team in-state and four team out of state competition, but with all the support from the community, it quickly evolved into a 16-team national holiday event. The popularity came quick and almost unexpectedly. In 1998, the Classic committee decided to add a women's tournament which added to its already high competition. The "Classic" as it is known in South Carolina, is held right after Christmas every year, lasting roughly four or five days until the new year hits. The Crescent Bank Holiday Invitational is held before Christmas and features the newly added women's tournament. The Invitational also feature the Carolina Challenge, which is an eight team tournament of the local women's colleges. 〔http://www.beachballclassic.com/History.aspx〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beach Ball Classic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
