Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention includes a mounting system for mounting a basketball return net to a basketball goal assembly. The mounting system includes an elongate member and spaced apart mounting brackets where the elongate member is mountable to span the distance between the mounting brackets. In certain embodiments, the mounting brackets define apertures sized to receive ends of the elongate member. The brackets are preferably mounted to a backboard assembly of the basketball goal assembly. Further, the elongate member passes through a sleeve of the return net, the sleeve being formed at the top of the return net. The net serves to capture and/or return a basketball to a thrower.
