This is the position a player needs to have when positing up to receive the basketball.
The player needs a wide stance, knees bent and hips low.
The hand they want to receive the basketball with should be extended out away from the defender.
The other arm, should act as a barrier between the post player and defender. This bar also helps with balance and movement.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
