In Ground Basketball Hoop Installation

This is an in ground basketball hoop in ground, set in concrete. It's the first time I've done this and I'm very pleased with the result. Instruction call for a 18 inch diameter hole, however that would be difficult to finish and would be an eye sore. I decided on a rectangle concrete anchor. It's roughly 21 inches deep, 14 x 15 inches wide. I placed a rectangular form on the top to reduce the visible footprint even more. I purchased nine 60 lb bags of concrete and only used six.
