• a second sensor configured to detect movement of the basketball rim from the first position to the second position and to responsively generate a second signal;
• a display device;
• an audio device;
• and,
• a controller mounted to the backboard, the first and second sensors, the display, and the audio device being electrically coupled to the controller, the controller configured to receive the first and second signals, the controller performing the steps of:
• initiating an instance of a game;
• detecting receipt of the first signal;
• detecting receipt of the second signal;
• playing a first audio signal through the audio device if the first signal was detected and the second signal was not detected within a predetermined time period;
• playing a second audio signal through the audio device if the first signal was detected and the second signal was detected within a predetermined time period;
