Run multiple cutters to the same general area, which provides you an offensive advantage and makes match-up zones struggle in their quest to defend you.
Why use this post drill
Get your post players used to coming toward the perimeter, then move back toward the hoop in creating high-percentage scoring chances.
Both players also get a shot during each repetition, which accelerates shooting improvement.
Set up
You have a ball on the right wing.
Place a post player on the ball side and one on the weak-side block.
A second coach (or manager) has a ball on the opposite wing.
How to play
Dribble left and have the ball-side post come high to set a ball screen.
The opposite post relocates to the middle of the free-throw area [1].
The ball screener rolls to the hoop as you passto the post player at the free-throw line [2].
The new ball handler throws a perfectpass leading the roller toward the hoop.
The roller catches and scores at the rim.
The passer then turns and receives a pass from the other coach.
The passer takes the jump shot so both players get a shot [3].
