ABSTRACT:
A removable basketball net assembly for installation on a fixed basketball hoop, the assembly having a circular, downwardly-open overlay ring for placement on an upper surface of the basketball hoop and a plurality of first and second types of clips. The assembly minimizes the reduction of the inside diameter of the hoop. The overlay ring has a generally semi-circular in-cross-section shell portion which has an inner surface that abuts the hoop. Each type of clip has a downwardly-open arcuate shape, a top side being complementary to the inner surface of the shell portion and a bottom side being complementary to the upper surface of the hoop. The overlay ring grips the hoop with a plurality of the first type of clips which are attached to the inner surface of the shell portion. Lower ends of the first type of clips extend below a horizontal centerline of the hoop, such that the lower ends will elastically deform outwardly as the overlay ring is placed on the hoop and will then spring back to grip the hoop and hold the overlay ring removably in place. A basketball net may be attached to the overlay ring by a plurality of the second type of clips which are attached to the inner surface of the shell portion, each of the second type of clips having a hook which depends from an inner side of the clip, to which the net may be attached
