Training the 4 basic ways of entrying to the post, while playing 1 on 1: - Straight down the lane to the post; - Diagonally to the post; - Cross screen into the post; - Occupy the post from the strong side. One player attacks 4 times and the other defends 4 times. On the whistle, defender must always touch the baseline and then come to the block to defende. Attacker must touch one of the entry post points and then come to the block to post up and attack. One 3 dribles are allowed to the atacker. If the attacker gets 2 or more baskets, he remains in atack and the defender must go out. If not, he goes out and the defender becomes the attacker.
Apply the rules of defending the post player which you think is correct.
