Is the Basketball hoop set at the same height for both Pro and Amateur Players? Why?

I have often wondered why the very tall pro Basketball players (who are often the same height as the hoop) get to play with such a huge advantage. Shouldn't pro hoops have the same height difference as you see, for example, in a high school game with average-height players, where the hoop is way over their heads? Wouldn't it take more skill, then?

It is a good thought to have the professional hoop higher, but that would take away a lot of exciting dunks, and the NBA does not want to lose any excitement. It is a business.

All regulation basketball goals are set at 10 feet in height. If you see any "very tall pro basketball players who are the same height as the hoop," please contact the people at the Guiness Book of World Records immediately.
The basketball rim is set at 10 ft tall. This standard for the game of basketball unless we are talking about under age teams with 6yr olds or younger. They are lowered for them.

Plus, if the rims were set at different heights,we wouldn't be playing an International tournaments. It would be unfair to have our pros change their game to a "shorter" rim.

I still think it is weird that we have to change to international rules for tournaments / olympics even though we (america) invented the game....
The height for all regulation basketball rims is 10 feet. I feel that on the proffessional level, the height should be raised to 12 feet because the players are just too big. 6'5" is considered small!!
It would, but everyone just adheres to the standard set by the inventor of bball whnere the peach basket was 10 ft.
its supposed to be 10 foot for everywhere but all goals especially at the high school level are not exactly 10 feet - and 2 or3 inches turns into miles when you are trying to jump up there to it - i had a friend that played incollegefor a small school and said mostcollegegyms the rim height was inconsistent too
