A regulation basketball hoop is still 10 ft. high, but thatâs about the only aspect of hoops-at-home that hasnât changed in recent years. A generation ago, a plain plywood rectangle with a netless orange rim was a common sight on garage roofs everywhere.
Sports legend has it that the height of that first basketball goal was 10', setting the standard that is used even today. However, Mr. Naismith's original written rules did not mention the height of the basket, so it is not clear if the origins of the regulation rim height are fact or fiction.
