Abstract
A basketball training apparatus has a basketball hoop with a circular rim and a backboard adjacent to the hoop adjacent to a playing surface. A backboard frame assembly supports the backboard relative to the playing surface to be movable between a plurality of different working positions, in which each different working position corresponds to a different angular orientation of the backboard about the upright hoop axis. By effectively rotating the basketball net about the hoop axis, all the shooting positions of the half court can be simulated while the player remains in one position. This allows for the amount of space required to practice shooting at various points of a court to be done in a much more confined space.
