A pair of resilient loops 22 extend between a brace 25 engaging the underside of bracket 12 and hooks 21 that are spaced apart to hook over rim 11 on opposite sides of the bracket. The device can be formed of resilient resin material to be deformed by engagement with a basketball and to spring back to direct the basketball back toward its shooter.
