UNC Clinic Notes Post Player Development Proper Technique for posting up - Use elbows (Arm bars up!) and tail to feel where defender is. Drill: Swivel Drill 1 post player, 1 defender (with pad), 1 perimeter passer Player posts up defender with pad. Defender will move back and forth attempting to get around the offensive player. Post player keeps the defender behind by reacting to his movement by feeling with tail and elbows. (Elbows must be up…e.g. “Arm Bars”) Passer holds the ball, allowing the offensive and defensive players to run the drill for approximately 15-20 seconds. Passer passes in to the post player, who will then execute selected post move. (Jump hook, drop step, etc.) Selected Post Moves: Can be used in any combination Ball fake to the middle power dribble drop step baseline layup/dunk Turn Face Fake Shot Turn Face Fake Dribble in Turn Face Dribble Fake Hook Drill: Secondary Jumpshots 2 feeders on the wings, Big Men line up at halfcourt Simulates secondary break Big Man runs to FT line from center court. Feeders alternate passes to big man (swing from the wing). Big Man takes jump shot Follow shot and get rebound. Drill: Shot Block Drill 1 Offensive Player, 1 Post defender Defensive Player is in help position. Ball is on the opposite wing. Offensive player drives in from opposite wing, causing defensive player to decide the appropriate time to go after the shot…This drill helps post defenders develop proper timing to go after the shot block while still preventing his man from getting the ball. Wait until the driver commits to the shot… then go get it!! Drill: Tip Drill Player taps the ball up against the board with right hand then tips it in, then moves to left hand, and on to the middle. Left Hand tip/dunk off the board Right Hand tip/dunk off the board Middle Tip/dunk off the board. Other Info: Deny the post with 1 hand up, 1 hand back. If you get beat or the defender gets the ball in deep HANDS STRAIGHT UP!!! DON’T GO FISHING!!! If you do not box out on a rebound, you run to half court and back. Boxing out the perimeter Touch the perimeter player, then go get the ball. .
