LOB PASS
A "lob pass" is a technique used in various sports such as football (soccer), basketball, and American football, among others.

In football (soccer), a lob pass is a long, high pass that is played over the heads of the defenders and intended for a teammate further up the field. The lob pass is typically used to bypass a congested area of the field or to take advantage of a teammate's speed or positioning. It requires a high degree of accuracy and timing to execute successfully.
In basketball, a lob pass is a high, arcing pass thrown towards the basket or towards a teammate in a position to score. This type of pass is often used when a player is near the basket and the defenders are closely guarding them, making it difficult to pass the ball directly to the teammate.

In American football, a lob pass is a high, arching pass thrown downfield towards a receiver, often used when the quarterback wants to target a receiver who is running towards the end zone and has gotten behind the defenders.

The lob pass is a useful technique in team sports that allows players to move the ball quickly and efficiently over the heads of the opposing team's defenders.
