Tipoff!

We live in Central Illinois and we know what this is.
But, just in case...

"A tip off is the opening play in a basketball game, where the referee throws up
a jump ball for the two starting centers at center court. The players jump in the
air to tip the ball with their hands towards their teammates to gain possession
of the ball."
