ABSTRACT:
A basketball goal assembly of this invention is secured to a conventional basketball backboard member. The basketball goal assembly includes (1) a basic support assembly secured to the backboard member; (2) a horizontal rim assembly secured to the basic support assembly; (3) a net support assembly secured to a portion of the rim assembly; and (4) a net member connected to and dependent from the net support assembly. The basic support assembly is constructed of a box shape having no slots, braces, or openings that might catch a person's finger or the like therein. The rim assembly includes a conventional circular, rim member that is braced by solid, rim support members that have no slots or openings to cause injury. The net support assembly includes a net connector member secured to a lower side of the rim member and a connector or anchor member. The net connector member is constructed with a continuous ring section having a plurality of integral, laterally extended connector sections therein. The ring section is secured as by welding to the rim member. The connector sections provide an opening between itself and the adjacent rim member to receive a portion of the net member therein. The connector member is trained over the connector sections and through the portion of the net member to provide vertical support thereto. The connector member can be a cord member made of the net member material; a cable member; a plastic tie member; or the like. An important feature is that the portion of the net member with the connector member fills up the opening between the connector sections and the rim member.
