Bison Supreme Court Fixed Height Basketball Hoop System BA9873
The Bison Supreme Court Fixed Height Basketball Hoop System BA9873 brings gymnasium-quality basketball to your home court. An official 42" x 72" TruGlass tempered glass backboard on a 6" square 3/16" wall steel pole with a direct rim mount extension arm and a full 60" safe play area. A heavy duty outdoor breakaway goal and Bison's Safe Stuff fitted pole padding included standard. A limited lifetime warranty that Bison backs with a simple promise: the BA9873 will look and play great on your home court virtually forever. Available in two pole configurations: a standard direct bury for a permanent installation, or a removable pedestal base for a home court where flexibility matters. No height adjustment. Gymnasium quality from day one.
42" x 72" TruGlass Tempered Glass Backboard: Gymnasium Quality on Your Home Court
The defining component of the BA9873 is the official 42" x 72" TruGlass tempered glass backboard. At 42" x 72", this is the same regulation backboard size used in nearly every college and high school gymnasium in America, and it delivers twice the playing surface area of most residential basketball systems on the market. Tempered glass is the gold standard backboard material for one reason that every serious player knows: the rebound response of tempered glass is unmatched by any other backboard material. Steel boards return the ball differently. Polycarbonate boards return the ball differently. Tempered glass returns the ball with the same consistent, true response that players experience on a competition court, because it is the same material that competition courts use. If you have played on a gymnasium backboard and want that exact experience on your home court, the BA9873's TruGlass tempered glass board is the specification that delivers it. The backboard is official size, official playing surface, installed at regulation 10' rim height with no height adjustment mechanism between you and the game.
6" Square 3/16" Wall Steel Pole: Competition-Grade Structure for a Home Court
The BA9873 is mounted on a 6" square 3/16" wall steel pole with a direct rim mount extension arm and a full 60" safe play area. This is the same pole specification used across Bison's institutional outdoor fixed height systems, a massive structural foundation that the weight of a full 42" x 72" glass backboard at regulation height demands. The direct rim mount extension arm positions the goal directly on the pole extension arm, providing a clean, stable mounting that transfers rim load directly to the pole structure rather than through the backboard. The 60" safe play area provides meaningful clearance between the pole and the active playing zone for aggressive drives and hard plays at the rim. The pole buries directly into the ground in a permanent concrete anchor on the standard Direct Bury configuration.
Safe Stuff Fitted Pole Padding: Included Standard
Every BA9873 ships with Bison's Safe Stuff fitted pole padding included standard. On the home court, pole padding is not optional. Players driving hard to the basket on a residential court with no lane markings, no painted restricted areas, and no referee calling fouls will contact the pole. Safe Stuff fitted padding is Bison's purpose-built pole protection for this system, shaped to fit the 6" square pole profile and providing a meaningful barrier between players and the structural steel during aggressive play. The fact that it is included standard rather than sold as an optional add-on reflects Bison's understanding of how the BA9873 is actually used on a home court.
Heavy Duty Outdoor Breakaway Goal: Built for Home Court Play
Every BA9873 ships with a heavy duty outdoor breakaway goal. The breakaway mechanism absorbs the downward load of dunks and rim hangs, protecting the goal, backboard mount, and glass panel from the cumulative stress of repeated rim contact during aggressive home court play. This is the correct goal specification for a residential fixed height system where players are shooting, dunking, and hanging on the rim in a home court environment across the full life of the installation.
Choose Your Pole Configuration: Direct Bury or Removable Pedestal Base
The BA9873 is available in two pole configurations at checkout. The Direct Bury configuration is the standard permanent installation, with the 6" square pole set in a concrete anchor in the ground. For home courts where a permanent installation is not practical or where the flexibility to remove the system in the future is a priority, the Removable Pedestal Base (BA870PXSUB) is available as a direct checkout option at an additional cost. The pedestal base substitutes for the direct bury pole, allowing the system to be removed from the installation without breaking concrete. Both configurations deliver the full BA9873 system specification including the TruGlass glass backboard, 6" square pole, direct rim mount arm, 60" safe play area, Safe Stuff pole padding, and heavy duty outdoor breakaway goal.
Configuration note: The Direct Bury configuration is a permanent installation. Once the pole is set in concrete, it cannot be relocated without breaking out the anchor. If there is any possibility you will want to move or remove the system in the future, the Removable Pedestal Base option is the right choice at the time of purchase.
Choose Your Configuration
Both configurations share the full BA9873 system specification: 42" x 72" TruGlass tempered glass backboard, 6" square 3/16" wall steel pole, direct rim mount extension arm, 60" safe play area, Safe Stuff fitted pole padding included, heavy duty outdoor breakaway goal, and limited lifetime warranty. The only difference is how the pole meets the ground.
BA9873 — Direct Bury
42" x 72" TruGlass Tempered GlassLimited Lifetime Warranty
Permanent Installation
The standard BA9873 configuration. 6" square 3/16" wall steel pole permanently set in a concrete anchor. Full 60" safe play area, Safe Stuff pole padding included, heavy duty outdoor breakaway goal, and 42" x 72" TruGlass tempered glass backboard. Best for home courts where a permanent installation is the right fit and the system will stay in place for the life of the property.
BA9873 — Removable Pedestal Base
42" x 72" TruGlass Tempered GlassLimited Lifetime Warranty
Removable Installation
The BA9873 with the BA870PXSUB pedestal base substituted for the direct bury pole. Same full system specification including TruGlass glass backboard, 60" safe play area, Safe Stuff pole padding, and heavy duty outdoor breakaway goal. Best for home courts where the flexibility to remove or relocate the system in the future is a priority. Available at an additional cost over the Direct Bury configuration.
Installation note: The BA9873 weighs 570 lbs and ships by truck. Professional installation with appropriate excavation equipment is strongly recommended for the Direct Bury configuration. The concrete anchor must be properly prepared before the pole is set. For the Removable Pedestal Base configuration, the base anchor still requires proper concrete preparation.
Warranty
The BA9873 carries Bison's limited lifetime warranty, backed by Bison's own confirmed assurance that the system will look and play great on your home court virtually forever. The limited lifetime warranty covers damage during normal and intended use as determined by Bison. The BA9873 is a residential basketball system. Bison residential basketball equipment will not be warranted for commercial or institutional use. For facilities where players pay an individual or group fee to use the equipment, Bison products carry no warranty except for obvious manufacturing defects. Vandalism damage is excluded from all Bison warranty coverage. Contact our team before purchasing if you have any questions about warranty coverage for your specific installation.
