what is "haley hoop" in basketball ?
959489
"An alley oop in basketball is an offensive play in which one player throws the ball up near the basket to a teammate (or, much more rarely, to himself) who jumps, catches the ball in mid air and immediately scores a basket, usually with a slam dunk. It is an impressive way to score and often electrifies the spectators. The alley oop combines elements of teamwork, pin-point passing, timing, and dunking. The alley oop was first used and popularized during the early 1970s by North Carolina State University to take advantage of the 48-inch vertical leap of Wolfpack star David Thompson. Because dunking was illegal in college basketball at that time, upon catching the alley oop pass, Thompson would simply drop the ball through the hoop. During the 1990s NBA stars turned the alley oop into the game's ultimate quick strike weapon."

The Harlem Globetrotters are a basketball team that combines athleticism and comedy to create one of the best-known sports entertainment franchises in the world. Created by Abe Saperstein in 1927 in Chicago, Illinois, the team adopted the name Harlem because of its connotations as a leading African-American community. Over the years it has toured more than 100 countries, playing more than 20,000 exhibition games, mostly against deliberately ineffective opposition like the Washington Generals (1953–1995) and the New York Nationals (1995–present).\n\nThe Globetrotters are well known throughout the basketball world. The organization started in the Negro American Legion League as the "Giles Post", and in 1926 turned professional as the "Savoy Big Five". That year, promoter Saperstein bought the team and re-named it the Harlem Globetrotters, after the most famous of all African American neighborhoods. After four decades of existence, the Globetrotters played their first "home" game in Harlem in 1968.\n\nThe Globetrotters were initially a serious competitive team, despite their flair for entertainment. Initially, they would only clown for the audience after establishing a safe lead in the game. In 1940, they accepted an invitation to participate in the World Professional Basketball Tournament. Defeating the New York Rens in the semi-finals, they advanced to the championship game, where they beat the Chicago Bruins in overtime by a score of 31-29.\n\nThe Globetrotters beat the premier professional team, George Mikan and the Minneapolis Lakers, for two games in a row in 1948 and 1949, with the Lakers winning the third contest. The February 1948 win (by a score of 61-59, on a buzzer beater) was a hallmark in professional basketball history, as the all-black Globetrotters proved they were on an equal footing with the all-white Lakers. Momentum for ending the NBA's color line grew, and in 1950, Chuck Cooper became the first black player drafted by an NBA team. From that time on the Globetrotters had increasing difficulty attracting and retaining top talent.

Basketball can be played by as few as two players. However, organized basketball games include two teams comprised of five players per team. Each team can have more than five players, but only five players per team are allowed on the court at one time.\n\nThe team's head coach determines when players go in and come out of the game. Reserve players enter the game through a process called substitution. Substitutions can only occur when play stops, such as during a timeout or when the referee calls a violation.\n\nEach player on a team is categorized by position. There are five positions on a traditional basketball team: \n    * Point guard - This player is typically the best dribbler and passer on the team. The point guard is sometimes called the floor general, which indicates the key role that the point guard plays.\n\n    * Shooting guard - The shooting guard, also called the two guard, is typically a team's best outside shooter on the team. This player flanks the point guard and moves around the court to try to create some space to take a shot that is uncontested by the opposition.\n\n    * Power forward - The power forward is usually near the basket and moves from one side of the basket to the other to try to get free from the opposition player that is guarding him. Power forwards also are skilled rebounders.\n\n    * Small forward - The small forward is typically a better outside shooter than a power forward and is usually smaller than a power forward.\n\n    * Center - Traditionally, the center is the tallest player on the team. The center's role is to establish a position near the basket to allow him/herself an easy jump shot. On defense, the center attempts to block shots and grab rebounds.

Phi Slamma Jamma was the nickname given to the University of Houston's Cougar basketball team from 1982 to 1984. This team was coached by the legendary Guy V. Lewis. They were especially known for their dunking skills and getting the ball to the basket in a hurry. The name was coined by Tommy Bonk, a writer for the Houston Post newspaper.\n\nThe team lost a close championship game against the North Carolina State Wolfpack in 1983, by a score of 54-52. The Georgetown Hoyas team defeated the Cougars in a championship game the next year.\n\nThe team included:\n\nBenny Anders \nClyde "The Glide" Drexler \nEric Dickens \nBryan Williams \nDerek Giles \nGary Orsak \nDavid Bunce \nDan Bunce \nRenaldo Thomas \nAlvin Franklin \nReid "Spot" Gettys \nLarry "Mr. Mean" Micheaux \nAkeem "The Dream" Olajuwon \nMichael Young \nDave Rose \nRob Williams \nIn 1994, Olajuwon & Drexler later reunited on the Houston Rockets team when Drexler was traded from the Portland Trail Blazers.

If you're talking about basketball, a stagger is when you set up two screens for a player cutting from the baseline to somewhere out at the top of the key.  One of the screens is down on the wing somewhere, the 2nd screen is usually at one of the elbows.  You would usually run a stagger for one of your best shooters, cuz it makes his defender run through two screens (assuming theyre playing man D).
