ABSTRACT:
A basketball net device for mounting on a raised basketball hoop including a generally tubular netting having upper net cords. A flexible annular member made of plastics material includes a hoop engaging portion which is generally channel-shaped in cross-section for a substantial portion of the circumference of the annular member. There are holes for connecting the upper net cords to the annular member. A circumferential section has an outer portion of the hoop engaging portion cut-away, leaving only a narrow inner portion thereof that engages the inner half of an upper surface of the hoop. The device can be readily removed from the hoop by pulling down on it and thereby pulling it through the hoop. Preferably the netting has closure devices, such as Velcro tape strips, for temporary closing off the opening at the bottom end of the netting. These devices are used to prevent a basketball from passing completely through the netting and for mounting the device on the hoop.
