I'm in a little spot of trouble here. I am installing a basketball rim onto my block concrete wall. The red head concrete sleeve anchors will not grip and just spin loosely. I pre-drilled 3/8 holes and cleaned and vaccuumed the holes.
But I think I messed up and made the holes too big or got them 'wallowed' whatever that means. So, I am now stuck with 3/8 holes and am wondering if anyone has recommendations.
Should I use some sort of concrete epoxy to fasten the bolts into the wall. Something like InstantBond. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I have to use the existing holes they are the only place I can mount the rim. Xsleeper thanks, using a backboard is an option I am trying to avoid. But it is my last resort.
PJMax, yes, thanks. I am using sleeve anchors that look almost exactly like that. These ones I read elsewhere that people have trouble with these slipping.
Hence the epoxy solution that I was hoping would work. Ray2047, thanks yes, I mean concrete block. I will look into Toggle bolts.
My google fu seemed to indicate that epoxy was the best way forward but it seems like that is not a common solution. It sure would be the easiest.

Setting up an in-ground pole can be a do-it-yourself job or you may decide to hire help. If you decide to DIY, dig the hole according to the manufacturer's specifications. It will need to be at least 2 feet deep, 2 feet wide and 2 feet long. The manufacturer also will recommend how much of the pole should be inserted. Fill the hole with cement to secure the pole. The size of the hole will determine how much cement you need, but the hole will need to be completely covered, which requires anywhere from 500 to 700 pounds of cement. Insert the pole and allow the cement to dry and set completely before installing the backboard, hoop and net.
Use an extension arm to attach the basket and backboard. That will provide up to 30 inches between the playing surface and pole,and allows you to adjust the hoop height to accommodate shorter players.

The sleeve will allow you to remove the pole.
