Trying to remember the name of a basketball game?

I'm trying to remember the name of a game we used to play after basketball practices when I was a kid.

Everyone would line up single file at the free throw (or three point) line. Everyone would have a basketball in their hands.

The first person would shoot, if he made it in, he went straight to the back of the line. If he missed, then the second person would shoot, while the first person rebounded his ball and kept trying to make it in. If the second person made it in before the first person, then the first person was "out". Then the second person would head to the back of the line, and this would keep repeating until it was last man standing.

I vaguely remember this being called "lightning", but I really can't remember. Anyone else play something similar?
