ABSTRACT:
An improved, portable basketball return device which includes a ball collector formed by telescopingly interconnected upper and lower ball deflectors, with the lower deflectors pivotly connected on opposed sides of an inclined ball return panel. An extensible and retractable chute depending from the front of the collector for directing basketballs from the collector, by gravity, towards the player standing near the freethrow line. The collector is mounted atop a vertically extensible and collapsable lift apparatus, permitting the collector and chute to be adaptable to basketball goals fixed permanently at the regulation playing height, or alternately, goals that have been adjusted and temporarily fixed at some other height along the basketball standard, wall or pole. The retractable, foldable and collapsable features of this device make for a compact and convenient storage position.
