What Is The Definition Of Lay-In In Basketball?
1. A lay-in is a type of shot in basketball where the player shoots the ball with one-hand, while close to the basket, and puts the ball into the cylinder without ever touching the backboard. This is similar to a layup, however with a layup, the player uses the backboard.
Players will typically use a lay-in while on the offensive rebound attempt, where they will grab the ball on the rebound, but will immediately put the ball back into the basket before coming back down.
