The present invention relates to a push button height adjustment mechanism for a basketball goal assembly for adjusting the height of a basketball goal above a playing surface. The basketball goal assembly includes a deformable goal support structure interposed between a rigid support member and a basketball goal. A first end of an extension arm pivotally connects to an extension that protrudes from the back side of the goal support structure. A second end of the extension arm is pivotally connected to the support member. An adjustment mechanism disposed in relation to the extension arm allows the length of the extension arm to be adjusted. The adjustment of the length of the extension arm selectively deforms the goal support structure, thereby adjusting the height of the basketball goal in relation to the playing surface. A counterbalance member is operably disposed in relation to the goal support structure to facilitate counterbalancing between the weight of the basketball goal and a tensile force applied to the extension arm. The adjustment mechanism may comprise a spring-biased push button mechanism. With the use of the spring-biased push button mechanism, a user is capable of adjusting the height of the basketball goal in relation to the playing surface using only a single hand.
