Low post play is a lost art and Rochester University head basketball coach Dr. Klint Pleasant is doing something about it. He has been for years as he has developed numerous low post players at the NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA levels. Coach Pleasant is a two-time USCAA national championship coach who covers the fundamentals needed to excel at post play in this video. You’ll see lecture, advanced teaching points, and a number of drills as you watch. Philosophy and Foundation The session starts with Coach Pleasant’s philosophy of post play and how, even today in position-less basketball, there are advantages to having strong low post players. Pleasant breaks down everything from the stance to proper movements and initial post position. He goes in depth on things like gaining position with the feet and the importance of a wide base. Sealing & Scoring Coach Pleasant offers a deep analysis of how to seal off defenders and maintain a position to score. He talks about multiple sealing angles, using leverage, movements to get open, and tips on body positioning. Pleasant also touches on how to receive a post feed and the fundamentals of feeding the post for a perimeter player. He also explains the value of a post player taking up space in the post and how it creates space for perimeter players. Finally, he touches on some drills that help to improve post play. At heart, Coach Pleasant is an educator and his dynamic speaking ability really stands out in this video. He engages viewers and breaks down post play to its smallest detail giving coaches the opportunity to gain something they can take back to their programs. Coach Pleasant helps to re-imagine post play as an essential skill that any team at any level can use to be successful. Smothering Man-to-Man Switching Defense Switching man-to-man defenses continue to take offenses out of their element and create problems. LaSalle head basketball coach Ashley Howard has been a proponent of aggressive man defense since his time as an assistant coach at LaSalle, Drexel, Xavier, and Villanova. Howard was with Villanova is 2016 and 2018 when they won the national championship. Switching on screens is a big part of what made the Wildcats so good defensively. In this video, Howard shares five drills he uses to teach his switching man-to-man. 1-on-1 Drill Defenders must be effective at guarding a man in the open court. Coach Howard walks you through a number of concepts including how and why smaller players can win their individual battles by having a “pitbull” mentality. Howard also shows you how players can defend without fouling and how to teach players to defend against opponents who are quicker. Team Drills In the next segment, Howard gets into four breakdown drills to teach the switching man-to-man defense. You will see the proper footwork to use when switching, how to signal load your defense when you have a mismatch, how to take advantage of defensive mismatches, and how to communicate when switching so defenders maintain a “ball-you-man” scenario. Transition Defense (Bonus) There is also a bonus section in this video where Coach Howard breaks down his transition defense. He includes a progression of drills that put the defense at a disadvantage. This teaches players how to react and defend when they don’t have the support of their teammates. All in all, this is an outstanding presentation on how to become an elite switching man-to-man team. Coach Howard gives you everything you need to force opponents into difficult shots and just become a more versatile defense.

Drills to Reduce Turnovers in Basketball & Post Play In today’s modern game of basketball, successful post play is becoming a lost art. In this video, Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard shares some of his favorite post drills that can be taught to new incoming players or to veterans looking to brush up on their fundamental basketball skills. Gard took over for the legendary Bo Ryan at Wisconsin and has taken the Badgers to a pair of Sweet Sixteen appearances. After spending 23 years as an assistant to Ryan, Gard became the 2016 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year in 2016. Coach Gard took over the Badgers program at midseason and led them to a 15-8 record and the Sweet Sixteen. In addition to post play drills, Coach Gard offers some ideas on how players can reduce the number of turnovers they commit. Eliminate Turnovers With nearly three decades of coaching experience under his belt, Coach Gard uses some of the simplest drills to reduce turnovers in basketball that teach the basic fundamentals of basketball and takes them one step further. Coach Gard will explain how he uses these drills to help players commit fewer turnovers. In a turnover situation, there is usually a passer and receiver with the passer often taking too much of the blame for a turnover. The receiver is often just as guilty, and Gard spends some time discussing different aspects of the turnover on the receiving end. Then, he drills how these turnovers might be prevented by using a simple passing drill to work on both passing and receiving skills. Post Play The next portion of the video gets into post play where Coach Gard presents a variety of drills. The drills are comprehensive including some that address skills prior to the post feed. One of Gard’s favorites is “Football,” which helps to develop toughness in your post players. The drill forces post players to compete on the low block. Skills like sealing the post and using a variety of post moves are taught here. Coach Gard also includes two variations of “Football” that can be used to increase competition. This 46-minute video is perfect for teaching quality post play and how to eliminate turnovers. For coaches looking to take care of every single detail within their programs, this is a definite to include in your coaching video library.

Duke Basketball: Post Player Drills Post play is extremely important at all levels of basketball. In this video, former Duke player and coach Jeff Capel takes you through a post player workout packed with drills that will develop skill and mobility. Capel was an outstanding player at Duke, became an assistant for the Blue Devils, and is now the head coach at the University of Pittsburgh. His stops at Virginia Commonwealth and Oklahoma resulted in multiple trips to the NCAA tournament. Creating a Championship Post Player To begin, Coach Capel demonstrates six offensive techniques that post players should master: Jump hook Drop step Quick go (one dribble into a running hook shot) Quick spin move Reverse pivot into a jump shot Rip-and-drive Coach Capel teaches each move on both sides of the paint so that players develop the use of both the right and left hands. Breakdown Shooting Drills Capel then takes you through five intense shooting drills. The idea is to help post players develop the ability to score from multiple spots on the floor using flashes, duck-ins, rolls, pops, and more. The drills include: 4-Around-1 Breakdown Drill: A breakdown of shots and situations your post players will see in your offense 4- and 5-Shot Drill: These drills work on shots that posts will regularly take in games. Wing (Wide Action) and Angle Ball Screens (High Action): These drills work on improving the effectiveness of the two-man game. 5 Spot Skills (out of rips and off of offensive rebounds): Forces post players to develop skills from the perimeter, which is often uncomfortable. Coach Capel’s post player development workout is essentially the same that is used at Duke. Use it and your players will become unstoppable multi-skilled and mobile big men.

The NCAA tournament has been a huge success story for Coach Davey's Santa Clara team over the years. Davey has put together a great series of drills and techniques to help your post players catch the ball, get open and score. Davey's approach to developing efficient and scoring post players starts with a focus on footwork and clearly-defined drills. Davey's drills are specific to getting you to score baskets in the paint. Davey uses six passing and catching drills to prepare for the block. He uses a five-step method to catch the ball and check the defense before moving. The two techniques walk away and circle are used to teach post players how to open themselves against aggressive defenders. He then explains and illustrates nine scoring moves. Each one presents a challenge to the defender. These moves can be used by players of all ages to remain a threat in the painting. 57 minutes. 2008

Drill progression is the key to player growth. Coach Crean demonstrates how this progression works, moving from an individual mode to the 1-0, 22-0, 3-3, and 4-0 modes. Crean emphasizes explosiveness in every drill, and all drills are intended to help each player score. This development is made possible by ball handling drills. Players use cones on the ground to practice seven drills that change speed and direction. The perimeter/post drill 2-0 works on the inside/out game. The perimeter player is given a second ball to work on flare screens, entry passes, the Houston cut, and go cuts. This drill is multi-purpose and can be used in any game situation. Post players learn to "punch in" on their weaker side, post big and finish strong. Post spacing is when the post defender is in front or behind. Two-step separation is a key skill. This involves the player separating from the defender. Perimeter players must learn to fade at each point on the screen in order to seperate from their defenders. Other important skills include the middle drive, spotting upward and two-step separation. Crean ends with the weak side series. The 4-0 progression combines all the pieces into one cohesive offensive attack. 73 minutes. 2007.
