ABSTRACT:
A basketball retrieval and return device comprises a retrieval net in the form of a funnel having a large upward opening with inclined rear, front and side walls that extend downwardly and inwardly toward a downward opening. The downward opening is somewhat larger in diameter than a basketball. An arcuate tube is pivotally connected to the downward opening of the net and can be freely pivoted about a vertical axis. A running duct is connected to the bottom of the tube for guiding the basketball to a remote location which is preferably a shooting position for a player. A stop at the end of the running duct stops and holds the basketball for use by the player. A counterweight connected to an opposite end of the running duct counter balances the running duct at the location of the discharge end so that the running duct is held a slight distance away from the playing court.
