Key Techniques for Post Entry Passing (A1/High Level):
Ball Position: Initiate passes with the ball behind the hip to reduce defender reaction time and increase passing force.
Targeting: Aim for the post player’s hands at or below the free-throw line, as passing too high allows defenders to intercept.
Passing Technique: Use sharp, crisp passes, including bounce passes with top spin.
Setting Up the Pass: Utilize jab steps, dribble threats, and eye fakes to move defenders before throwing the pass.
Angle Creation: Improve passing angles by moving the ball around the perimeter or using shallow cuts to shift the defense.
Key Drills and Training:
1-on-1 Post Feed Drills: Players practice passing high-post player who then executes moves like drop steps, jump hooks, or up-and-fakes.
3-Point Threat: Outside players must be able to shoot, forcing the defense to respect them and creating easier entry opportunities.
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
Passing from too far out-of-position.
