Saw this in Hornsby Rebel. Attracted me. Not sure if it is national wide.
Not available online.
Big enough but plastic may not that good as acrylic.
There seems many stocks.

Plastic backing not good for rebound
Had it up in our back yard for a few years. Perfect for the kids and still going strong. I didn't use the supplied bolts, as I was securing to a brick wall. Spent a few dollars more and purchased decent long bolts.
Just a heads up for those interested, this is NOT a 'system' as noted above. It's a backboard and hoop only.
Here's the link for Rebel: http://www.rebelsport.com.au/store/basketball/backboards-rin…
Conversely, here are the systems (ie stand included) from Rebel: http://www.rebelsport.com.au/store/basketball/basketball-sys…
Thanks. I didn't see it on line previously. It is there http://www.rebelsport.com.au/Product/Spalding-44-Eco-Highlig…. On line price is still $149. In that store, it is $99.
No dramas, glad I could help clarify. Just when I saw "Spalding Basketball System" for $99, I almost fell out of my chair :).
For $100, this is decent backboard and hoop for the beginner.
"Eco-Composite" which means plastic so it will last outside, but as subydoody noted there is minimal rebound. So perfectly fine for mucking around, I had something similar for ages, but not really recommended if you/your kid is learning to play. If you do want to play actual games, then acrylic is better, followed by polycarbonate. Glass is best, but is also the heaviest. I'd probably suggest spending an extra $30 (plus shipping if you're not near them) and getting http://sportsmart.com.au/p/spalding-gold-44-basketball-backb…. Of course if you were serious, you'd probably actually want http://sportsmart.com.au/p/goalrilla-dc-glass-72-inch-ingrou…. ;-)
Had one similar from spalding for 5-6 years. The only reason I don't have it anymore is because the joints rusted so much it collapsed during a storm.
