Abstract: A basketball performance monitoring system sensor comprising a sensor housing coupled to a basketball goal proximate a net. The housing has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The housing includes an arm proximate the second end and is configured extendable inside the net. A U-shaped appendage is located between the first end and the second end. The U-shaped appendage is configured to couple to the net; wherein the sensor is configured to sense a ball impact vibration and/or an angular orientation responsive to a basketball passing over the arm.

Abstract: A basketball goal system is provided which helps improve the shooting skills of a use. The system includes a rim which is expandable and contractable in diameter. The rim has a pair of free ends which are caused to be moved relative to each other to change the rim diameter. Attached to each of the free ends is a device for causing such relative movement and thereby the expansion and contraction of the rim.
