Abstract: An illuminated basketball hoop accessory for removably securing to a basketball hoop mounted at a desired height above a playing surface. An illuminated member forms a hoop approximating a size and shape of the rim. The illuminated member has a plurality of securing members, for example clamps or magnets, for removably securing the illuminated member to the rim. An illuminated member mounting tool is provided for engaging the illuminated member to and disengaging the illuminated member from the rim. The illuminated member thus illuminates the rim to allow for visual identification of the position of the rim in a dark environment, and during daytime provides a convenient means of mounting a net to the basketball hoop.
