ABSTRACT:
An apparatus 10 for returning a basketball to a shooter includes an elongate net 18 with a first end portion 20 connected to a basketball net 12 of a basketball backboard 14 and rim 16 combination. The elongate net 18 receives a basketball which has been successfully shot and directs that ball generally toward a frame 24 positioned immediately in front of the shooter. The elongated net second end portion 22 is connected to the frame 24 and, in particular, adjacent a deflection board 28. The deflection board 28 is connected to the frame 24 and positionable at a plurality of angles relative to the playing surface 26. Accordingly, a basketball traveling along the interior of the elongate net 18 exits the second end portion 22 and rebounds off of the deflection board 28 in a direction generally upward and toward the shooter. In this manner, a successfully completed shot is quickly and efficiently returned to the shooter. The frame 24 is movable to a plurality of desired positions on the playing surface 26 to facilitate practice at a variety of desired positions.
