The hoop was where they went to discuss personal things with each other.
I remember the night scene in particular when Steve Martin (George) and his daughter (Annie) threw some.
It was significant for her because it would be the last time she would live in her childhood home and in effect be a child.

the basket ball hoop is lik a big wedding ring that you shoot basket balls through. There is the scene in the early part of the movie when he is talking about how his life has going so well and she is a little girl and he is teaching her to shoot baskets and he is the only man in her life. There is the scene when she arrives and is trying to tell him that she has found a new man, and that they are going to get married and he has trouble hitting the basket. And there is the scene when she is breaking up with her fiancee and he is trying to teach her the error of her ways and how if this is the man for her then she should be with him because her father is not perfect and much of what she was told is true. There is a fourth scene where he talks to his sone about shooting hoops as well, but that is not the one you are thinking about. The point is that he and she have been training for this moment all her life and here it is the moment when she must stop practicing and start playing the game of life.

It was about the father-daughter relationship they had. Part of it shows the daughter as an adult, then he thinks back to when she was a little girl. I don't remember whether the basketball shots went in every time or not. I guess that would make a difference in some way. Supposing they went in some of the time and not every time, I guess it would show how in life you win some and you lose some. But, you have to keep trying. Also, the bond between them is strong because the father is a good father and supports his daughter 100%.
