The hoop through which the ball must pass to score points for a team is called the basket ring

Description

An explanation of the math used to generate the basket ring (and its connecting portion that attaches the ring to the backboard) is walked through below using NBA dimensions, but is generalized in the code

Usage

basketball_basket_ring(
  basket_ring_connector_width = 0,
  backboard_face_to_ring_cent = 0,
  basket_ring_inner_radius = 0,
  basket_ring_thickness = 0
)

Arguments

basket_ring_connector_width	The width of the basket ring connector
backboard_face_to_ring_cent	How far off the face of the backboard the center of the basket ring's circle is located
basket_ring_inner_radius	The inner radius of the circular part of the basket ring
basket_ring_thickness	The thickness of the basket ring's circular part

Details

The connector has a width of 7", so 3.5" are on each side of the x axis. The ring has a radius of 9", so the arcsine of these measurements should give the angle at which point the ring and connector connect

Value

A data frame of the boundary of the basket ring and connector
