Rule changes

 * The position of inspector, a type of game official, was abolished. Previously, two inspectors — who had no decision-making powers — had worked each game as assistants to the referee, stationed at each end of the court and responsible for determining whether goals were scored in accordance with the rules, which they reported to the referee.

Season headlines

 * The Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association began play, with six original members for basketball.
 * Wabash (24–0) went undefeated during the season.
 * Plagued by disagreements over playing rules and player eligibility, violent play, and teams failing to meet their obligation to play a complete league schedule on some occasions, the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League (EIBL) collapsed after the season. For the next two seasons, its teams played as independents. After a reorganization, the EIBL resumed competition in the 1910–11 season.
 * In February 1943, the Helms Athletic Foundation retroactively selected Chicago as its national champion for the 1907–08 season.
 * In 1995, the Premo-Porretta Power Poll retroactively selected Wabash as its national champion for the 1907–08 season.

Helms College Basketball All-Americans
The practice of selecting a Consensus All-American Team did not begin until the 1928–29 season. The Helms Athletic Foundation later retroactively selected a list of All-Americans for the 1907–08 season.
