Post drill: Ball Screen, Roll & Receive High-Low Pass

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].

How to perfect the technique for this post drill

• The pass to the roller should be high and hit the player in stride.
• The roller provides a high target so this pass can go over the top of the defense.
