Post feed/spot up

Very useful format and descriptions of drills. I am using Sportplan...
Tony, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Two lines: one below the backboard and one on the wing.

Set up a line of chairs, or cones, starting near the mid-court line and directed toward the baseline but no deeper than the foul line extended. This is an optional step to be used to work on dribbling.

Ball handler dribble weaves through the chair line (remember this is an optional step). Experiment with your dribbles and use different types of changes.

Ball handler extends dribble to a good angle for a post feed.

Ball handler throws a post entry pass.

Low-post receiver, if a player, makes a low post move. If not a player, (a coach for example) he just holds the ball.

Ball handler then slides to the corner to receive a pass from the coach and shoot from 3 points or 2 points extended.

COACHING POINTS

Use the 3-point line as a spacing guide. Many passes are fumbled because the passer is too close or the defense is not spaced enough.

Work on different types of entries: baseline bounce pass, lob pass, etc.

Teach passing angles. If a coach is present, he can position himself as a dummy defender to teach the passer to read the defense. He can play over the top (use baseline bounce pass), baseline (throw middle pass), full front (lob or reversal pass).

Emphasize passer movement after the feed to space out off the post and strip the help.

Teach that some of the best shot opportunities, especially 3-point attempts, come "inside out" after a post feed.

Rotation: the players continuously exchange from one line to another.
