Valley Oop

"Valley Oop" is a basketball play where the passing team quickly launches the ball into the air near the basket, aiming for a teammate to catch it mid-air and score a close-range shot. It's designed for fast, coordinated teamwork, often used to surprise the defense and capitalize on quick scoring opportunities. The term captures the idea of an aerial, high-flying pass—like an "ooping" or soaring pass—focused on creating easy scoring chances near the hoop.
