A basketball return apparatus for use with a basketball goal assembly having a backboard attached to a post with a frame member in elevation above a ground surface and a rim coupled to the backboard includes a net member having upper and lower ends. A mounting assembly includes a first end coupled to the net member upper end and a second end configured to couple the net member to the frame member of the basketball goal assembly. A support member is pivotally coupled to the net member second end, the support member movable between a retracted configuration generally adjacent and parallel to the net member and an extended configuration extending away from the second end of the net member. The support assembly may include a swivel member configured so that the net member and support member may be rotated side to side relative to the basketball goal assembly.
