I have a Spalding 60 inch glass basketball system. It was lowered all the way down and now it can't be raised because it's too low. How do I fix this?

As silly and bizarre as this may sound... just take the pole and raise it to shoulder height and throw onto the grass at an angle. It may take a few attempts but the pole WILL come apart. I know you think I'm crazy ...but it does work. It's almost like a Chinese finger trap.

Lift it by hand while someone else tries to raise it the normal way, maybe it will catch.

prop it up or put weight on it

Maybe this video might offer you soe hint?

Dig below frost line, depends upon where you live, but at least two feet deep. I would make the hole about a foot wide. Pole diameter 3-4 inches in diameter.
