ABSTRACT:
A basketball shot-making system which can be used indoors or outdoors for increasing the number of possible installation locations and the number of methods of making a shot A backboard has paired members vertically disposed and in contact with each other along an edge forming a right angle inside corner. A goal having an arcuate hoop for shot-making is horizontally disposed and offset from the backboard. A goal support bracket is positioned therebetween and is in threadable communication with the backboard and in rigid communication with the goal. A rebound action device having a vertical orientation and being in threadable communication with the backboard is adjacent the inside corner right angle zone, the rebound action device further being in rigid communication with a top surface of the goal support bracket for increasing the number of shot-making possibilities. The basketball shot-making system can be installed in difficult locations such as indoor corners in older buildings not designed as gymnasium, or outdoors by using a base and support pole. The support pole has angular members in rigid communication with a non-playing surface of the backboard members for maintaining the backboard at the desired offset from the pole. The height of the system above the playing surface can be adjusted by a plurality of threadable collars in communication with the support pole to accommodate the conventional ten foot zero height (10'-0") as well as any height desired for children under 10 or physically challenged children or the like.
