ABSTRACT:
A visual guide for improving accuracy of shooting a basketball into a basketball hoop is shown which consists of an annular member which extends below the rim of the basketball hoop. The annular member provides a visual guide as to the location of the rim and the opening for shooting the basketball. The annular member may be mounted by any one of a variety of devices onto the hoop so that the annular member extends below the rim. Such mounting devices may include, for example, a plurality of holes throughout the annular member and a rope looped through those holes and the net holding device, a tab with a snap looped over the net holding device, a hook extending upwardly from the annular member to be engaged with the rim of the basketball hoop, or a series of loops attached to the interior of the annular member with a mounting rope threaded through the net holding device and through the loop.
