Post Play Fundamentals

Backboard Shots

 Offensive players should use the backboard when shooting after most inside moves, especially when shooting from a 45 degree angle, using a power move, or in an offensive rebounding situation.  The rule is "when going to the glass, use the glass" (unless dunking the ball).

Everyone Is a Post

All players are post players.  Technique is more important than height.

Expect Contact

Because the inside area is frequently crowded, there is often a lot of contact.  Inside players should create contact and use their bodies to control defenders.  Players must learn to initiate contact while maintaining balance and proper stance (staying low with a wide base and ready feet).

Hands Up

Passing to inside players is difficult because there is little margin for error due to crowded passing lanes and short windows of time.  Because of that, inside players should always be prepared to receive a quick pass by having both hands up.
