ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for returning basketballs falling in front of the backboard to a shooter at the freethrow line. The apparatus may be mounted to the backboard, a free-standing post supporting the backboard, or to the hoop bracket. The apparatus contains a closed frame which bends down away from the backboard. The closed frame supports a return surface such as webbing or sheeting. Sidestops are rotatably and removably secured to the closed frame for the purpose of ensuring the return of more balls which fail to go through the hoop. The apparatus may be easily attached for use, detached following use or swung into an out-of-the way storage position.
