Net (basketball)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typical basketball net hanging from a rim

A basketball net is an open-meshed, typically corded or nylon structure that hangs from the rim of a basketball hoop, allowing the ball to pass through while helping to visually and audibly confirm a successful shot. The basketball net was first introduced in 1893, but it wasn't until 1912 that the net was opened at the bottom to allowing the basketball to fall through.[1]
