Post Player Reaction Drill

Level: CYO, Junior High, High School, College, Pro
Shot Location: The Branson School, Marin County, California
Instructor: Dave Granucci
Notes: The drill starts with the player facing the baseline and jumping up to touch a place in the air, on the backboard, or on the rim depending on the level of the player and team.  When the passer yells “turn” the post player turns, receives a pass, and needs to finish with an aggressive basket.

Coaches can change the difficulty of the drill by having the passer throw harder passes, faster passes, and bad passes.  You can also require that the post player make a move after catching the ball, such as a up and under, a hop step, or a fake of some kind.  You can also mix up the drill by requiring the post player shoot left handed, or maybe add a defender into the play.  Cycle a few players or entire teams through the drill quickly to create some enthusiasm.
