      I have the framing and backboard, but I am not sure how to secure the framing to the sloaping clay-tile roof.

      * Hope I got your attention. A clay tile roof is not a place to install a basketball backboard.
      * The ball will come down on the clay tile, and the tile will break!
      * Go buy a 20ft post. Dig a 6ft hole in the ground. Stick the post (pre-treated) into the hole and cement it in, making sure it is plumb.
      * Buy an post adapter to mount the backboard so that the rim is 10ft to ground.
      * You’re in business with out any cracked tiles!
      * I did that 30 years ago and everything looks like it was yesterday, except for the strings which have to be replaced frequently.
      * Good luck… Adios… Jasper.
