Have you ever struggled with getting the most out of your Post Players? Not sure how to help them learn how to get open, defend and score?
I’ve been there. Playing for the legendary Don Meyer and alongside an All American Post Player and MVP of the National Tournament gave me a base, but I knew I had a lot to learn.
I couldn’t just rely on using drills we used as a player or what I thought worked. I had to dig deeper.
Quickly I found out what Post Players needed.
Successful Repeated Repetitions under Game Conditions.
I had to make sure they did whatever the drill over and over successfully.
And then do the drill quickly.
Once I started this process of successful repetitions and going game speed, my players started showing steady improvement
I changed from just checking the box when doing Post Play Drills to being intentional and it showed. Now instead of having players go through a drill to say we did the drill, we made sure they did it correctly and at a quick pace.
When I watch a team practice or someone working with a Post Player the most common mistake I see is allowing a player to slide through a drill.
Not concentrating on the footwork to get open, catching with two hands, chinning the ball, playing with knees bent and following every missed shot with a put back on the offensive end.
Here is a series of drills for you to use with your Post Players.
Make sure they do the drill correctly and then make sure they are going a high rate of speed.

A sign in the men's basketball locker room at Xavier University reads, "The only good pass......is caught." As a coach who's always valued the teaching of fundamentals in order to limit turnovers, I've never forgotten that sign.

During my time at Valparaiso University our team had tremendous success with our post game. Now, in Feeding the Post, I'm showing the passing techniques and teaching progression I've used for years; the same techniques that led to our team being ranked 11th nationally in fewest turnovers per game! Replete with teaching points on screen and college game clips to show examples and non-examples, this film is sure to give you a number of drills and techniques to effectively teach your team to pass the ball inside for those high-percentage scoring opportunities you want...and need!

Dr. Hal Wissel's Basketball Shooting: Post Moves and Drills is a great course for players and coaches. Players will learn post-up scoring moves and coaches will learn to teach players post-up moves and drills. Coach Hal Wissel starts by teaching players how to make their strong hand and weak hand hook shot automatic with a series of hook shooting lead-up drills including the hook shot warm-up, hook shot warm-up with crossover step and the alternate hand hook drill.
With detailed instruction and demonstration, Coach Wissel teaches techniques that will improve a player's ability to score in the low post using post-up moves without a dribble and post-up counter moves with one dribble. Low post moves and drills include the drop step baseline power move and the drop step middle hook. Front turn baseline moves include the shot fake bank jump shot, the crossover middle hook and the counter spin back power move. Progression includes the read and react drill to post defense.
Coach Wissel advances to teaching moves and drills from the pinch post. Detailed pinch post (elbow) moves and drills that are taught include the shot fake jump shot, crossover step drive, back crossover drive and hook, step-back jump shot, step-through leaner, crossover step drive bank jump shot and step-back jump shot off the dribble. Coach Wissel teaches players how to create space away from the defender when driving to the strong-hand side and weak-hand side. Points of emphasis include picking the ball up off the dribble in balance and with correct hand position on drives. Players learn to use the jump stop and crossover dribble when driving to their weak-side. Players are shown how to finish their drive with a jump shot, leaner, hook, reverse lay-up or power move.
Next, Coach Wissel teaches scoring from the midpoint and off a pick and pop to the corner with detailed moves and drills including the shot fake front turn one dribble middle hook and drive baseline reverse lay-up. Also included in this course is the one versus two read and react drill.
