Post Play Position Play (31)

Complete Post Player Development Dean Lockwood has developed some of the premier post players in NCAA women’s basketball, including the likes of 2013 WNBA MVP Candace Parker. During Lockwood’s tenure as an assistant at the University of Tennessee, the Vols have won seven SEC tournament titles, five regular season titles, and two national championships (2007 & 2008). Part of the success of the Tennessee program comes from Lockwood’s ability to develop post players. In this video, you will see exactly how he does it. The Four “Roller Principles” of Post Play Coach Lockwood explains his philosophy of post player development and then gets right into the four basic fundamentals: getting open, sealing a defender, catching the ball, and scoring easily. You will see WNBA player Isabelle Harrison demonstrate sealing in transition with the “leg whip” and the “pin & spin” techniques. Passing and Catching Series Post players must be able to catch the ball or teammates will not trust them. You will see six drills that train post players to react quickly with soft hands and even secure bad passes. The Stop, Pivot, & Rip drill works on driving to the basket after the catch helping post players become more dynamic offensive threats. Footwork Series Coach Lockwood uses five drills to teach post players how to fight for position and seal a defender so they can catch a pass. You will see the “U-ing” technique which is used to maintain a seal while a defender fights to get around it. The V-Cut, Seal, & Receive drill trains post players to use the “SEC” concept to set up a defender and get in the best post up position. Transition Series The Post Highway Layup drill teaches players to sprint for over-the-top passes in transition. You will also see the Tennessee Transition drill which helps posts seal a defender under the rim for an easy basket. Finishing Series Coach Lockwood uses a few drills to work on finishing moves. Rapid Fire Finishing is a drill to get players to use a quick pivot for power layups. The 180 Turn drill teaches players to use a duck-in to receive a pass and then utilize a quarter-turn pivot to score. Intensity Layups expands post players’ games to the high post where they can be scoring threats from the elbows. Scoring Series A series of nine moves are used on the block. Players are encouraged to develop their go-to move and a counter to go along with it. Three options help players extend their range. Game Situations Coach Lockwood then applies all the drill work into the Tennessee offensive system. You will see how posts play in ball screens and how they relocate off of dribble penetration. For teams with dangerous post players, Lockwood’s video is a must-have! Rent this post player development DVD today.

Sean Miller’s Skill Development School: Post Workout Arizona head basketball coach Sean Miller has six regular season and conference tournament titles, three Pac-12 Coach of the Year awards, and five trips to the Sweet Sixteen under his belt already in his time with the Wildcats. Part of his success is due to his development of post players. In this video, Coach Miller teaches you how to build dominant post players that can play in the low post, away from the basket, and even in transition. Using on-court demonstrations, Miller shows you the workout he uses to build post players. You will see four different shooting series, three 1-on-1 post move drills, three off the lane fade series drills, and three cutting series drills. Shooting Series Coach Miller’s shooting series will gradually build your players’ offensive skill set from jump shots to put-back, post moves, and counter moves. In the series of drills, Coach Miller emphasizes consistent footwork as a key to increasing a player’s field goal percentage. The shooting drills include: One Two Step Shooting: Players are forced to focus on the proper footwork right before taking the shot. This emphasis on footwork creates the base for players to increase their field goal percentage. Shooting on the Move: While around the basket skills are the basis for scoring for post players, they must also learn to become effective shooters on the move. Toughness Series: Players go through a set of 10 drills using a heavy basketball. These drills work hand-eye coordination, give players a better feel around the basket, develop the weak hand, and provide a tough conditioning workout. Situational Drills Coach Miller uses situational drills to help players learn to use what has been taught in real game situations. The transition series, for example, simulates the post player running the floor in the fast break and getting into scoring position early in the possession. The catch and finish series teaches players to catch the basketball and finish at the rim. The emphasis again is on proper footwork in cutting and shooting. Offensive rebounding is another skill that is covered so that post players learn to score easy buckets around the basket. Players also work on more common situations where they must go 1-on-1 with a defender. In this set of drills, Coach Miller teaches players how to be effective scorers from the low post as well as what to do when help defense arrives. The final part of Miller’s presentation deals with “off the lane” drills. As post players are pushed off the lane, a strong face-up move is taught to create good scoring opportunities. Coach Miller’s School of Skill Development does an excellent job of addressing the fundamental skills necessary to develop tough, fundamentally sound post scoring machines.

Skill Development for Post Players Improve the development of your post players with this progressive workout routine from Kent State head coach Rob Senderoff. With 25 years of coaching experience including the last eight as head coach of the Golden Flashes, Senderoff has focused his on post player development. He has devised a system featuring over 14 drills and variations that can build well-rounded post skills. The workout is a challenge and builds confidence in posts’ play around the basket. Post player development begins from the ground up and starts with the ability to handle the basketball to create space in the post. Coach Senderoff uses everyday equipment to take players through a series of drills to make their normal motions become automatic. When game time comes, post players are more fluid and more confident. In each drill, Senderoff helps players develop an aggressive mentality that includes finishing off of two feet and going strong to the rim. Coach Senderoff puts a great deal of stress on the hook shot, a fundamental shot in Senderoff’s repertoire. Players go through a warmup series of hook shots and then Coach Senderoff teaches a counter move as well. For Senderoff, post players don’t need a bunch of different moves. They need a few counters for the basic hook shot, which Coach Senderoff goes on to teach. The Chair Drill series is introduced and demonstrated as a means to give post players confidence in being successful at finishing around the rim against any opponent. You will see a go-to move along with a counter move both with and without using a dribble. These techniques will help make post players unstoppable around the rim against any defender. Coach Senderoff also introduces the Duke series. Post players gain another means of scoring as they learn to face up and attack the rim using a variety of jabs, bump fakes, rip throughs, and footwork. This adds another element to the post player. Building the complete post player takes athletes that are willing to work hard and train with an open mind. Coach Senderoff’s warmup and in-depth look at how to be successful playing the post can build stronger, more successful post players who can become unstoppable forces in the paint.

Coach Manning includes seven different hand-eye coordination drills to help develop your players’ hands. He uses a variety of equipment like tennis balls and medicine balls to put players through a dynamic workout. As Kansas’s all-time leading scorer, Coach Manning was able to score at will around the rim. In this video, he takes his knowledge and experience as an elite post player and teaches it to you.

By the end of the series of drills, players are loose and ready for the remainder of the workout. Post Series Throughout the entire workout, Coach Marshall emphasizes the position of the center’s feet both on offense and defense. The Drop Set series is one that focuses on footwork and court positioning so that players can properly execute the drop step. Players learn to recognize double teams and then learn how to react in one part of the series. In another set, players use the drop step and work on jump hooks. Passing A good passing center makes teammates better and makes the center an even bigger offensive threat. Coach Marshall uses the heavy balls and goes through a series of fundamental passing drills to improve a post player’s passing skills. Marshall also incorporates an outlet passing drill off of a defensive rebound. 1-on-1 The workout culminates with the Finish Drill where centers work on both offense and defense starting at the elbow.

Post Play to Dominate the Paint Effective post play can help teams win championships. Dave Vander Meulen, former head coach at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, discusses his post play training techniques in this video. Vander Meulen was the head coach at UWW for 23 years accumulating 440 wins, a .707 winning percentage, and two NABC Division III Coach of the Year awards. Watch as Coach Vander Meulen gives you drills and skills to teach post play on both sides of the ball. Body Control Successful post play starts with understanding how to use your body as a weapon. If a post player knows how a defender is playing him, he can use his body to open up scoring lanes. Coach Vander Meulen goes into detail about how players should stay wide to create position and open up space to operate. Developing a feel for where a defender is can help a post player generate scoring opportunities and open passing lanes. Counters All post players have a set of moves they like to use. Over time, defenders will learn to take away their most effective scoring moves. Posts must then develop counters to these moves. If a post player has a great baseline scoring move, he must also have a counter for when a defender takes away the baseline. Coach Vander Meulen covers the drop step baseline, up and under, face up, and hook shot moves. He then helps posts work on developing an effective counter move when these moves are taken away. Straddle the Leg By straddling the leg of a post player, a post defender is able to “half” the offensive player’s body. This allows the defender to cover the top and the bottom sides at the same time and prevents the defender from getting sealed. You will see Coach Vander Meulen explain how to use this technique and use your body to move with the offensive player. This makes it tough for an entry pass while also taking away passing lanes. Many of the basics of post play are reviewed by Coach Vander Meulen in one convenient package. This video can help your post players score more by using their best moves as well as their counters. Defensively, your post players will become more adept at controlling their body allowing them to improve their defensive play.
