I bought a basketball hoop and net this summer and after about three shots the net started to come unhooked from the little hooks on the rim. Some crappy simulation somewhere told the mfg that the hooks would hold perfectly I'm sure. The idea of actually putting up the net and taking a few shots never occurs to anyone anymore.
