What is a "basketball hoop"?
A basketball hoop is an essential part of a basketball court, consisting of a circular ring suspended at a height, usually 10 feet above the ground. Attached to the hoop is a net that catches the ball when a player successfully makes a shot. The hoop is positioned at each end of the court and serves as the target for players to score points. Scoring occurs when a player throws the ball through the hoop from various distances during the game, and the net helps signal a successful shot.
