First, the basket is described in rule 1-10 & 1-11, not 2-11.
1-10-1: Each basket shall consist of a single metal ring.......its flange and braces...... The word support is not used.
1-11-1: .....basket ring shall be.....attached to the
backboard/support system......
The supports are what hold up the backboard, are they not?
7-1-2 The ball is out of bounds when it touches..... c. the
supports or back of the backboard.
9-2-8 does not use the word support.
