commemorate it, entilted “March madness”. During the tournament’s
“Golden Era” of the 1940’s and 1950’s, “March Madness” became the
popular name of the event.
How it was declared Official ?
“March Madness” grow its name after witnessing the most famous finish in
history, when Chicago Carver beat Centralia on a last-second shot by a
substitute named Anthony Smedley. Beginning in 1973, the IHSA began
using the term officially in its programs and on its merchandise.

Ten basketball referee Jim Enright to write the official history of the
boys basketball tournament. The result was March Madness: The Story of
High School Basketball in Illinois.
