Abstract
A basketball goal unit for use with a basketball backboard including a rigid backboard mounting frame adapted to be securely mounted to said backboard and a goal mounting frame configured for cooperative interengagement with the backboard mounting frame. A goal is carried by the goal mounting frame and a pivot shaft interconnects the goal mounting frame with the backboard mounting frame to permit pivotal rocking movement of the goal and goal mounting frame about a transverse pivot axis in response to the goal being struck or slapped or hung from, as by a player during a 'dunk' shot. A curved leaf spring provides resilient coupling between the goal mounting and backboard mounting frames to permit resilient movement of the goal about the pivot axis, and a double-acting shock absorber provides damped coupling between said goal mounting and backboard mounting frames during this pivotal rocking movement.
