ABSTRACT:
The mounting bracket for the ring of a basketball goal is yieldably swingably movable downwardly, or both downwardly and laterally, responsively to application of potentially deforming or damaging forces. Strong magnets or equivalent structure firmly hold the bracket against movement by normal game-applied forces. Pivotal movement is provided by a hinge or a ball-and-socket connector. A coil spring behind the goal backboard and connected to the bracket by a flexible cable, or a leaf or coil spring, can be employed to automatically return the temporarily displaced goal to its normal position.
