Abstract
A basketball launching device includes a user interface for receiving user input regarding a subset of locations of varying distance from a throwing mechanism to launch basketballs to for a player to catch and shoot towards a basketball goal as part of a practice session. A distance adjustment mechanism is connected to the throwing mechanism for adjusting an exit velocity of the basketballs launched by the throwing mechanism. A controller receives data regarding the user input and commands the throwing mechanism and the distance adjustment mechanism to undertake operations for launching at least one of the basketballs towards each of the locations in the subset.
