Abstract: A cantilever boom supports a padded basketball hoop above a specified area of a playing surface in a normal horizontal position. The arm can swing universally to permit substantial vertical and/or sideways deflection of the hoop by the application of corresponding forces thereto, such as during the practice of dunk shots. Resilient members bias the hoop to its normal position.
