Post Entry Passes

Basketball is full of dos and don'ts. Share your tips about any topic and you help players improve or at least ask questions. 

Giving players the ball when and where they want it improves their chance of execution. 

Don'ts: 

1. Bad things can happen trying to enter the ball to the post from the top. A lot of hands are in the way. 


2. Beware lob passes. 
3. Avoid passing to ankles. Annoys the big and turns the ball over. 

Dos:

1. Pass away from the defender. 
3. Get the proper angle. 


By getting below the free throw line the passer gets a better angle to enter the ball or the defender chooses to front the receiver. 
4. Fight for position. Here's an example from Swen Nater. 


5. Old school, we used to work on post entry/denial. 


Lagniappe. Post feed drill from Sherri Coale 


Lagniappe 2. Villanova post entry. 



Lagniappe 3. UCONN post entry and go drill. 


Lagniappe 4. SLOB Virginia Triangle. Create space. Use it.
