ABSTRACT:
An articulated resiliently-biased mounting is provided for a basketball hoop. The mounting includes three brackets nested relative to each other. A first bracket is secured to the backboard. A second bracket, constituting an intermediate bracket, is pivotably supported on the first bracket. A first spring constantly urges the second bracket towards its normally nested position relative to the first bracket. A third bracket is pivotably supported on the second intermediate bracket. The third bracket is secured to the annular rim of the basket. A second spring, independent of the first spring, constantly urges the third bracket towards its normal position relative to the second bracket. As a result, the rim may deflect, but readily returns to its normal horizontal position relative to the backboard.
