(Redirected from Basketball hoop)
Basketball equipment hanging from the backboard
The basket or hoop is a piece of basketball equipment, consisting of the rim and net. It hangs from the backboard. The first basket was a peach basket installed by James Naismith.[1] The bottom was eventually cut out of the basket, and the basket was eventually replaced with the metal rim and net.[2] [3] [4] Today there are breakaway rims.
A field goal is a shot that goes through the basket.
