Abstract: An electronic wall mountable alarm clock is simulative of a basketball backboard with red lighted numbers displaying the time of day. The backboard has buttons on top for setting the time and the alarm. A rim attached to the backboard has two photocells positioned directly across from each other such that when the alarm sounds at a previously set time, a ball can be tossed through the basket between the photocells shutting the alarm off. Soft rubber balls can be used with the hoop alarm clock. The alarm can also be turned off manually.
