Abstract: A basketball game for mounting on a conventional door, in which a backboard and rim are height adjustable relative to the face of the door. A pair of U-shaped brackets receive the top and bottom edge of the door and a vertical pole is mounted between the brackets. The brackets are tightenable relative to one another for rigidly holding the apparatus to the door. The one U-shaped bracket located at the top edge of the door includes a relatively thin L-shaped metal member and a relatively thick front member. The L-shaped member has a first leg for seating against the backside of the door and a second leg for seating against the top edge of the door. The thick front member has a first face for seating against front face of the door and a second top face for abutting a portion of the second leg of the L-shaped member. A screw secures the second leg to the second top face of the front member.

Abstract: The basketball goal support of the present invention need not include the traditional backboard. Rather, this goal support includes a generally U-shaped anchor attachable to a door or similar structure. A hollow cylindrically shaped receptacle is fixed to the anchor for receiving a support tube in close fit within the receptacle. The support tube supports the basketball goal.

Abstract: A basketball goal apparatus having a hoop and net goal supported in a plane parallel to the floor by four legs depending from the goal. Four net standards are secured to respective legs at a point spaced below the plane of the goal and extend upwardly at an angle through said plane to a point spaced above the goal for supporting a netting. The netting is disposed in three orthogonal side planes defined by the ends of the standards and surround the rim. A ball return platform positioned beneath the goal is tilted with respect to normal for returning the ball to the player.
