Level: Junior High, High School, College, Pro
Shot Location: The Branson School, Marin County, California
Instructor: Tom Poser
Notes: This drill is designed to teach post players how to control the opponent physically to ensure a better post position when they receive the ball.  The key is to create contact with the defender well prior to the time in which the ball would actually be passed into the post, essentially setting up the defender.  You allow the defender to get the front position and patiently allow the ball to be swung to the other side of the court where you will then be between the ball and the defender.  Remember that you cannot just run to the opposite side to get the ball, you first have to seal the defender in the place he started, and then physically keep him there until the pass comes your way.
