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.
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.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
