Feeding the Post Player
A great many players have a real difficulty passing into the low post. A little bit of pressure and they lose the confidence and ability to get the ball inside. As coaches, are we teaching how to feed the post? Are we drilling on how to do it successfully? These tips will help your players learn to better 'feed the post':
- The common-sense tip: only pass when the post player is open!
- Only pass to the player posting up if you can see both the defender and the hands of the post player.
- Always throw the pass away from the post defender.
- Create an open passing lane by utilizing pass fakes.
- Make use of the dribble to create a better passing angle.
- Only pass into the low post if you are below the free throw line extended. Post passes from the top are too easily defended, deflected, and stolen.
- Make quick, sharp passes. In other words, if you have to take the time to wind up and throw it, don't!
