ABSTRACT:
A basketball goal system may include a rim assembly that forms part of a breakaway rim that can deflect downwardly when a force larger than a predetermined amount is applied to the rim. The basketball goal system may include a biasing member, which may be sized and configured to bias the rim assembly from a deflected position to its previous playing position. The basketball goal system may include a rim mounting bracket, which may be sized and configured to connect the rim assembly to a mounting surface, such as a backboard or a basketball goal support structure. The basketball goal system may also include pivot bracket and a connector that may be sized and configured to interconnect the biasing member, the pivot bracket and the rim assembly. The rim mounting bracket may be movable between a storage position and a use position.
