Hoop Hunter Helpful Post Play Basketball Tips

1. Point Guards are typically selfish; therefore post must rebound to find happiness.
2. Post players must learn to recycle all of the garbage that's missed by outside shooters and turn it into points. To do this, post must become good at anticipating the miss, locating the ball and beating their man to the ball.
3. When posting up, successful post need to maintain a wide base and a big target while demanding the ball; this type of demeanor will encourage selfish guards to pass them the ball.
4. When a perimeter player won't pass the ball into the post, post should leave the post area and set an "on the ball" up screen or "off the ball" back screen and roll to the basket. Doing this will get them involved in the action.
5. Post players don't have to be tall, they just need to know how to play post and have a counter attack when playing against their opponents.
