ABSTRACT:
An adjustable height basketball goal including a vertical column having angled corners and a beam extending up from the column. The upper end of the beam supports a basketball goal and the lower end is attached to the column by a movable collar. The collar carries a first set of rollers disposed to contact the angled corners at a first elevation, and a second set of rollers disposed to contact the angled corners at a second lower elevation. The rollers allow easy movement of the collar with respect to the column while firmly securing the beam against wobbling. A vertical adjustment mechanism, such as a rack and gear assembly selectively moves the collar with respect to the column to adjust the height of the basketball goal above the playing surface.
