The height of a basketball goal is an important factor to consider when setting up a basketball court. The regulation height for the top edge of the rim of a basketball hoop is 10 feet from the ground, whether for inground basketball goals, wall-mount goals, or indoor and outdoor goal systems. However, the height of the basketball goal may need to be adjusted to accommodate younger or novice players, or for dunking competitions. The process of adjusting the height of a BSN basketball goal depends on the type of system and mechanism used. Some common adjustment mechanisms include the rear crank, front crank, quick pin, squeeze trigger, and InstaJust or stick adjust.

What You'll Learn
Adjusting the height of a BSN basketball goal
The process for adjusting the height of a BSN basketball goal depends on the type of basketball system you own. Some basketball goals have a crank handle for height adjustment, while others use a different mechanism.
Rear Crank
If your BSN basketball goal has a crank handle on the backside of the post, you can adjust the height by turning the crank handle. Turning it clockwise will raise the rim height, while turning it counterclockwise will lower it.
Front Crank
For BSN basketball goals with an adjustment cylinder on the front side of the post, insert the hooked end of the crank handle into the adjustment loop. Then, turn the crank handle clockwise to raise the rim height or counterclockwise to lower it.
Quick Pin
If your BSN basketball goal has a spring-balanced removable pin on the backside of the post, simply slide the pin to remove it. Then, raise or lower the rim height by pushing or pulling the adjustment handle up or down. Once you've reached the desired height, replace the pin to secure the rim in place.
Squeeze Trigger
Basketball goals with a pneumatic cylinder and a squeeze trigger on the backside of the post can be adjusted by squeezing the trigger and then pulling down or pushing up on the handle. Release the squeeze trigger when the rim reaches the desired height.
InstaJust
The InstaJust, or "stick adjust," mechanism is located directly behind the rim. Adjust the height by using the adjustment mechanism.
Bison Adjusto-Bracket
The BSN Bison Adjusto-Bracket basketball goal can be adjusted by mounting the bracket to a wall at the desired height. It can be easily mounted on brick, wood, tile, or block walls. Once the bracket is in place, slide the basketball goal onto the rails.

- Identify the desired height for the bracket, ensuring it is installed at the appropriate height for the intended users.
- Prepare the surface for installation. This may involve cleaning or making any necessary markings for anchor placement.
- Attach the anchors to the wall using the appropriate hardware and tools. Ensure that the anchors are secure and can withstand the weight of the bracket and basketball goal.
- Mount the Adjusto-Bracket to the anchors, following the manufacturer's instructions for proper alignment and attachment.

Sliding the goal into place
The BSN Sports Bison Adjusto-Bracket Basketball Goal Mount allows you to set up a basketball court for children or advanced athletes to play or practice. The bracket can be easily mounted to a brick, wood, tile, or block wall. Once the bracket is in place, you can simply slide the basketball goal (sold separately) onto the rails. The goal can be removed when play is over.
To slide the goal into place, start by attaching the Adjusto-Bracket to any flat surface. Ensure that the surface is sturdy and can support the weight of the basketball goal. The bracket should be attached securely to prevent any accidents or injuries during play.
Next, you will need to slide the basketball goal onto the rails of the bracket. Carefully lift the goal and position it so that the rails align with the bracket. Gently push or slide the goal towards the bracket until it is fully seated in place. Make sure that the goal is secure and locked onto the bracket before allowing anyone to play.
When sliding the goal into place, it is important to ensure that the rails of the goal and the bracket are properly aligned. This will ensure a safe and secure connection. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for any specific guidelines or requirements for attaching the goal to the bracket.
Additionally, regular maintenance and inspection of the basketball goal and bracket are important. Check for any loose parts, wear and tear, or damage to the equipment. This will help ensure the safety of the players and prolong the lifespan of the equipment. By following these steps, you can properly slide the BSN basketball goal into place, creating a safe and enjoyable playing experience for athletes of all ages and skill levels.

Using a crank handle
Rear Crank
If your basketball goal has a rear crank, you will find the crank handle on the backside of the post. To raise the rim height, simply turn the crank handle in a clockwise direction. To lower the rim height, turn the crank handle counterclockwise.
Front Crank
Basketball goals with a front crank design will have an adjustment cylinder located on the front side of the post. This cylinder features a loop at the bottom that receives a removable crank handle. To adjust the height, start by inserting the hooked end of the crank handle into the adjustment loop. Then, turn the crank handle clockwise to raise the rim height or counterclockwise to lower it.
General Crank Handle Tips
The crank handle allows for infinite height adjustability, typically between 7.5 feet and 10 feet. To restrict access to the height adjustment mechanism, some crank handles have a removable pin. This feature ensures that the basketball goal's height remains locked at the desired setting and prevents unauthorised changes.

Adjusting the rim height
The process of adjusting the rim height of a BSN basketball goal depends on the type of basketball system you own.
If you own a BSN basketball goal with a fixed height, your basketball goal height may not be adjustable. Some fixed-height units have no moving parts, while others may have an extension arm clamped to the post with bolts. If your BSN basketball goal has an extension arm, you can adjust the rim height by loosening the bolts, sliding the arm up or down the post to your desired height, and then tightening the bolts to secure it in place.
If your BSN basketball goal features an adjustment cylinder, you can adjust the rim height by using a crank handle. Insert the hooked end of the crank handle into the adjustment loop at the bottom of the cylinder. Then, turn the crank handle clockwise to raise the rim height and counterclockwise to lower it. You can also purchase a replacement crank handle that fits most internal height mechanisms, such as the Goalsetter Basketball Crank Handle.
For BSN basketball goals with a quick pin mechanism, the rim height can be adjusted by sliding the pin to remove it, and then raising or lowering the rim to the desired height. Once you've reached the desired height, replace the pin to secure the rim in place.
If you have a BSN basketball goal with a squeeze trigger mechanism, simply squeeze the trigger and then push or pull the handle up or down to adjust the rim height. Release the trigger when you've reached the desired height, and the rim will stay in place.
Additionally, BSN offers the Bison Easy-Up™ 6-in-1 Mini Basketball Goal, which features an adjustable full-size rim. This product can be easily mounted in gyms and recreation centres with existing 10-foot goal installations. It offers six height options ranging from 6.5 feet to 9 feet, allowing players of all ages to practice their skills.
Regardless of the type of basketball system or adjustment mechanism, the regulation height for the top edge of the rim is 10 feet from the ground. This standard has been used since the invention of basketball by James Naismith, who created the first basketball hoop with a height of 10 feet.
