Re: Hoop Dimensions

We bought the official hoop and found that the mounting holes did not agree with what was on the FIRST plan, so we aligned the top of the rim with the tape pattern (as shown on the plan), then mounted the hoop the correct distance from the floor. That way the target is in the correct relation to the hoop with is the correct height above the floor.

Using this method, you can use any regulation basketball hoop.
