ABSTRACT:
A support arm for attaching a basketball backboard to a pole is disclosed. The support arm includes two support members configured with flanges extending generally along a longitudinal axis of the support arm. The flanges have a toothed configuration in the shape of a square wave which includes a plurality of tabs and recesses. The support members are capable of mating engagement with each other wherein the tabs along each of the flanges of the first support member engage the corresponding recesses of the respective flanges of the second support member, thereby disposing engaged flanges at an angle with respect to each other. The support members are configured with a substantially C-shaped cross section. The support members are attached to each other with bolts, thereby eliminating the need for welding. Means are also provided attaching one end of the support arm to the basketball backboard and the other end to a pole.
