ABSTRACT:
A deflectable basketball goal (10) having a mounting assembly (12) which sets a bracket (62) of a ring assembly (16) at a small angle to the vertical so as to allow a less abrupt actuation of a biasing assembly (18). Accordingly, load applied to the ring assembly (16) is more gradually applied to a basketball backboard to which the deflectable basketball goal (10) is attached. A pivot assembly (14) has resilient members (44 and 46) so as to accommodate slight wobble in the ring assembly (16) for avoiding the effects of wear and hence giving the deflectable basketball goal (10) more consistent "lip out" or rebound characteristics overtime.
