If one coach is fired, other teams don’t feel as bad getting rid of theirs. Why teams care about what others is doing is stupid, and they should only worry about their organization. Coaches fired so far: P.J. Carlesimo, Thunder. Fired Nov 22, team record: 1-12. Unfortunate for Carlesimo, but this team was expected to be the worst team in the NBA this year. Seems a little early to fire him, but I guess the front office didn’t like the way players were developing under him and the direction he was leading the team. Eddie Jordan, Wizards. Fired Nov 24, team record: 1-10. Hard to win with 40% of your starting lineup out, especially $111 million of it. The Wizards played well with Arenas out last year, but PJ’s firing gave the Wizards a quick excuse to get rid of Jordan and get a fresh face in there. Sam Mitchell, Toronto. Fired Dec 3, team record: 8-9. Mitchell’s team played decent but were expected to do big things this year in Toronto. O’Neal has played decent and was a good trade becau …

Lifetime 79910 Competition Square Shatter Guard Basketball 50-Inch Backboard and Slam-It Pro Rim Hone your jumpshot in your driveway or invite some friends over for some spirited two-on-two with the Lifetime Competition 50-inch backboard and rim combo. The square Shatter Guard backboard–which integrates a clear playing surface with a high-quality steel frame–is made of Makrolon polycarbonate, which is virtually unbreakable and 30 times stronger than acrylic. As a result, broken backboards are a thing of the past, even from errant rocks and other non-basketball threats. The arena-style orange Slam-It Pro Rim, meanwhile, is designed specifically for players who like to throw down. The rim features wraparound bracing and double-compression springs that give way during dunks to protect the player, then spring back once released. Other details include fade-resistant UV-protected graphics; a powder-coated black-hammertone-finished steel backboard frame that adds rigidity for improved rebound; and a blow-molded plastic frame pad for protection. The set comes with a five-year warranty.

Amazon.com Basketball System Buying Guide
With the high-quality construction of many portable basketball systems, turning your driveway into a basketball court can be as simple as hooking up your garden hose. But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.

In-Ground Systems
In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground–either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground–and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you’ll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease.

Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You’ll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.

Wall-Mount Systems
Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won’t take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.

Portable Systems
Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.

Backboard Considerations
Regardless of which system you choose, you’ll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite. Some systems may offer steel or aluminum backboards, which are virtually vandal resistant, but don’t offer the true rebounding action.

The regulation size of an NBA backboard is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high. Most portable hoops are 42 or 44 inches wide and 36 inches tall. In-ground systems tend to be a bit larger, with 54-inch and 60-inch widths being the most popular. While rectangular shaped backboards provide more bank shot opportunities, they are generally more expensive than the streamlined fan-shaped board.

Mammoth 98856 In-Ground Basketball System with 54-Inch Backboard Hone your jumpshot in your spare moments or perform a backyard dunking drill with the Mammoth 98856 in-ground basketball goal. Designed for permanent installations, the 98856 includes such features as a real tempered glass backboard, a heavy-duty Spring Flex rim, and a Rapid Cam one-handed height adjustment mechanism for speedy height changes.

The goal’s sturdiness stems from its 5-inch-square steel pole and its 9-by-9-inch bolt-down pattern, which is more rigid and takes up less space than portable basketball goals. The pro-style 54-inch backboard, meanwhile, is made of 3/8-inch-thick tempered glass, the same kind used in high school, college, and pro programs across the country. As a result, broken backboards are a thing of the past, even from errant rocks and other non-basketball threats. In addition, the board includes a huge steel frame and a professional-quality foam frame pad.

Mammoth knows that dunking and above-the-rim play are a huge part of modern basketball, which is why the 98856 also comes with both a height adjustment mechanism and a spring-back rim. The Rapid Cam mechanism–the fastest crank mechanism on the market–adjusts from 7-1/2 to 10 feet in seconds, with a Key Lock device to ensure that the rim stays at your chosen height while you play. Thanks to the Rapid Cam technology, players of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the game on their own terms, while aspiring dunkers can gradually raise the level an inch at a time as their vertical improves.

The Spring Flex rim, meanwhile, is designed specifically for players who like to throw down. The 5/8-inch solid-steel rim features wraparound bracing and double-compression springs that give way during dunks to protect the player, then spring back once released. The rim is also supported by 1/2-inch braces, with welded-steel net hooks and an all-weather nylon net.

Other details include a monstrous, powder-coated black steel frame with a rust-resistant finish, 30-inch extension arms for durability, an anchoring system with a patented anti-flex design that reduces vibration, and a precision leveling feature. The 98856 carries a lifetime warranty.

Its just not physically possible for a 4th grade player to put their hand on the ball in the same spot as a college player. In addition, even if you are older, your hand size can vary greatly. Second, there is some room for slight variation. I grew up releasing the ball off two fingers…my middle finger and pointer finger. Then I met the most amazing shooter I have ever seen, Ed Palubinskas. He is a real character, and he can shoot the lights out. Ed teaches to release it completely off your pointer finger…and I think he makes very good points for his perspective. Third, your pinky and thumb should form a triangular shooting platform so your palm doesn’t have to touch the basketball. So if you are doing this right, you should be able to balance the ball on 3 fingers…your thumb, your pinky, and your pointer finger. Your middle and ring fingers can touch the ball, but they don’t do much except balance the ball a bit. Fourth, your wrist is important. You are looking for a l …
