Mr Allen, a psychology teacher at Wanganui High School, and Mr Berridge of Fight Fit Gym in Wilson St, said they related to Jorzahn's disappointment because they had children his age.
The men said The Warehouse was generous as well, when they went to buy the hoop.
Jorzahn also received a basketball, two sports jackets, a sports shirt signed by former Tall Black captain Phil Jones, and another sports shirt signed by the winners of the men's tournament who played in the Labour Weekend Hoop Nation.
Ms McCallum and Jorzahn also received a family pass to the 2013 Hoop Nation.
