How to run it
- 1
Wing with the ball; post on the block; defender fronts the post.
- 2
If fronted, feed a high lob over the top to the post sealing.
- 3
If 3/4 denial, feed a bounce pass to the baseline side.
- 4
8 reps each entry type, then switch.
Coaching points
- Feed away from the defender — the open side, not the body.
- A front means a lob; a 3/4 means a baseline-side bounce.
- The post must seal and show a target hand.

Why it works
Post entry is a lost art that unlocks easy baskets. The nugget: a fronted post is open behind the defender — a well-placed lob is an automatic layup. Most kids can't make this pass, so their post player never gets the ball. A kid who reads front-vs-denial and delivers the right entry feeds the post for high-percentage points that perimeter-only teams can't generate. Easy offense lives inside.
