ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a basketball rim assembly support apparatus usable with either of two types of supporting for basketball backboard assemblies being 1) a four corner backboard support; or 2) a center mount backboard support. A four corner frame support and rim connector assembly includes a vertical support strut assembly extended between upper and lower support members of a generally rectangular backboard support frame having a backboard glass member mounted therein. A basketball rim support assembly is provided having a "U" shaped main support plate which is connected to the vertical support strut assembly; the lower support member of the backboard support frame; and to a rim anchor plate of a basketball rim assembly. This eliminates any support or contact from the basketball rim assembly directly or indirectly to the glass backboard member. In a center mount support and rim connector assembly, the vertical support strut assembly is not required as a "U" shaped main support plate member is directly connected between a support connector plate of the center mount backboard support; the lower support member of the backboard support frame; and to the rim anchor plate of the basketball rim assembly.
