A support assembly for use in controlling basketball dunk shots at all height settings of the goal. The support assembly, upon which is mounted the basketball basket and backboard, controls a downward dunking force and then returns at a slower controlled rate to its original position. The assembly may also control a forward dunking force, from a player approaching the basket from a center court position, during a dunk shot and then returns the assembly at a slower controlled rate upon completion of the dunk shot. The assembly may also be used to control a sideways force occurring from a dunk shot when a player hits the basket from the side court. When this happens the support assembly will rotate to absorb the dunking force and then will return to its original position at a slower controlled rate.
