Goin' over ya. That's a 18" hoop, 6" off the backboard, horizontal. You can't go more than 14" horizontally from your Frame Perimeter, and the Fender starts 38" from the wall. 18"+6"=24", +14" =3 8". You can't block the hoops from a shot coming in from above without getting on top of an 8.25" tall sloped Fender.

It's all about the math.--Mark Leon
