Deflectable basketball hoop

Abstract

A pivoting breakaway basketball hoop reduces player injury and prevents damage to the hoop by deflecting in multiple directions. The basketball hoop includes a rim which is supported on a rim support member by a joint such as flexible coupling or universal joint. The joint allows the rim to deflect in multiple directions and returns the rim to its original position. The basketball hoop also may include a counter balance and/or a stop which help to return the rim to its original position.
