Type: Motion Offense

Description:

Here we teach two post players to 

work together.

We also teach defense on posts.

Diagram A, when pass is to high post, low 

post seals and looks for pass and basket.

Diagram B, when pass is to low post,

high post shows and then cuts to basket

looking for pass from low post and basket.

Diagram C shows a good drill I use where  

we have two posts and two post defenders. 

Remainder of squad passes ball around key 

looking for posts to make good position and

they then pass to posts who go 2 on 2.

Diagram D shows a good two-passers to

two posts drill. Posts set a screen and roll 

on cross screen and both screener and 

roller get pass for a basket.

Variations:

1. Start 3 on 0, progress to 3 on 3.

2. Start with token defense progressing

    to full 3 on 3.

3. Run from both sides of floor.

4. Various cuts off screens.

Points of Emphasis:

1) Offense.

a) Recognize how your partner is defended.

b) Remember to move without the ball - correctly.

c) Present a target when you want the ball by 

    holding hand up and yelling for ball.

    Drop hand and stop yelling one second 

    before moving (e.g. to screen or relocate).

    This way you won't get hit in the head 

    by a pass from a teammate.

d) Jump stop as you receive the ball in the post - 

    option of either foot as pivot foot.

e) Receiving the ball, remember the 3 C's. 

    Catch, Chin (the ball, protect with 

    extended elbows) and Check your defender.

2) Defense.

a) Side-front high when ball is high.

b) Side-front low when ball is low.

c) Correct footwork in front of post to

    move between two stances.
