This newsletter is meant to provide you with some late season counters and actions to get the ball inside to your best post-up players. There are 5 plays designed to score vs. man-to-man defense and 3 designed to score vs. zone defense. Hopefully one of the plays may serve as a counter to an action that you already run and might be an adjust-ment for your team as you head into post-season play. The following teaching points were taken from Kevin Eastman's clinic discussion on post play and post development. I encour-age all coaches to attend this summer's CoachingU Live. There are two events which will be held in Orlando and Las Vegas this upcoming summer. If you have any questions please reach out to me.

Kevin Eastman Post Play Teaching Points

1. It Is A Fist Fight To Get Open, It Is A Foot Fight To Score

2. Low Man Wins! Get Your Shoulders Underneath The Defender

3. Three C’s- Catch Chin And Check

4. Give Up Position For Possession

5. Butt Into Thigh…no Deny

6. Play Low To High

7. When You Catch The Ball Pause For Poise; Let The Garbage Clear Before You Make Your Move

8. When Posting Don’t Be Concerned With The Defenders Feet, Rather The Deny Arm

9. Run Rim To Rim Not Free Throw Line To Free Throw Line

10. Don’t Waste A Post-up When The Ball Can’t Get To You, It’s Better To Be Late Than Early

11. Use A Violent Shot Fake To Score In The Post; Chest To Ear While Maintaining Your Base

12. Post Up Across The Lane And Not Up The Lane; Try To Post Up On The Midline (Eastman Referred To This As The Mini-lane)
