lay-ups
Backboard bank shots
Lay-ups is the plural of lay-up, a basketball shot made close to the basket, typically by bouncing the ball off the backboard: She practiced her lay-ups until dark.
The term extends to anything easy or straightforward—an uncontested opportunity: The interview questions were lay-ups.
In manufacturing, lay-up refers to arranging material layers before molding.
