I coached youth basketball for seven years in a row, so I know a few things about basketball equipment. Since we've always had a basketball hoop in our driveway, I've also learned a few things about them.

Regardless of whether you put your backyard court basketball hoop in the driveway or not, you need to know what to look for in a good, solid product. If you don't you'll end up like we did one Easter.

We had family and friends over for Easter, so we decided to have a game of pick up basketball. It was going well until the hoop came crashing down on someone. Yes, the whole hoop came off and ringed someone around the head.

Now, you can take a few steps to avoid this happening to your basketball hoop. For instance, the is the perfect solution for those that require safety and performance. It has the following features that make it an excellent choice for those who use their boards all the time:

• Glass backboard
• 5 foot extension
• Stainless steel parts

Each of those features is great, but the 5 foot extension means you have more space to play.

If you're serious and basketball and personal safety, this is the system for you.
