Coaches hear all the time that there are no post players anymore. Everyone wants to be a perimeter. But I disagree. The key is in defining "post play". Many associate the term with "Bigs", "Back to the basket". We define post play through these 5 elements:
1.) Transition--more heart than speed. It's simply consistent effort.
2.) Post Feeds--ability to get & stay open, creating an angle to score.
3.) Drives--Ability to drive & finish, creating space & scoring off the drive
4.) Cuts--Straight line cuts, weakside flashes, pass & cut, etc.
5.) Rebounds--Getting offensive rebounds, & Finishing putbacks
We refer to our "post play" through these elements--not by specific players or specific positions. We set game goals for points in the "post". Obviously, we are referring to the paint/ posting area. But we want as many players and opportunities to score in the "post".
We identify getting the ball inside by labeling our scores/ and paint touches--T,P,D,C,R
