摘要： A basketball launching system for recording shooting statistics in association with locations other than passing locations. Controller(s) receive data from a user interface indicating selection of a pass location and one or more shooting locations which are spaced apart from the pass location and program a launching device to pass basketballs to a location at a basketball playing area corresponding to the selected pass location and record shooting performance information in association with an associated one of the selected shooting locations for each respective one of the passes.

摘要： Systems for assisting a user with creating a custom basketball practice arrangement are provided. A user interface has selectable input areas arranged in association with a visual depiction of a three-point line to visually correspond with pass receipt locations at the basketball playing surface for an ejector to launch basketballs towards. User selection is made at the selectable input areas to define a subset of pass receipt locations forming the custom basketball practice arrangement. A control system receives data indicating the received user selection and commands the ejector to launch at least one basketball towards each of the plurality of pass receipt locations in said subset.

摘要： Systems for assisting a user with programming of a custom basketball shots made in a row practice arrangement includes a control system which receives data from a user interface indicating a user selection of a number of shots to be made in a row at each of a subset of pass receipt locations in the custom basketball shots made in a row practice arrangement and command a ball ejector to launch basketballs to a particular one of the pass receipt locations in the subset until data is received indicating that the number of shots is made in a row is made, and instead begin launching basketballs to a second particular one of the plurality of pass receipt locations in the subset. The control system also generates data for a report indicating performance feedback for the user during the custom basketball shots made in a row practice arrangement.

摘要： Systems and methods for providing performance feedback regarding a basketball practice session are provided. A user interface associated with the basketball launching machine accepts user input indicating a subset of various locations at a basketball playing area for a basketball launching machine to provide basketball passes for a player to catch and shoot towards a basketball goal for said basketball practice session. At least one detection device ascertains whether the player succeeds in making a goal, and at least one processor retrieves data from the detection device and generates graphical output indicating the player's success in making goals for the basketball practice session displayed in a spatial layout visually corresponding to where the basketballs were passed.

摘要： A system for improving a basketball player's ability to shoot basketballs towards a basketball hoop having an improved ball sensor is disclosed. An interface allows a player to select various locations for a ball ejector to launch basketballs to. A hollow protrusion extends though the net of the basketball hoop and has a microphone positioned therein. A processor compares audio signals generated by said microphone to pre-recorded sample audio signals of a basketball passing through the net of the basketball hoop to determine if a basketball shot was successfully made.
