Post Defense Ideas

Guarding the post:
o Duke-everyone digs
o 1 on 1-don’t let the man that entered the ball get the ball back.
o LA-big/big trap (wherever he is on the floor)
o Villanova-guy nearest the ball traps and next closest guy sprints to the open offensive
man for a steal.


I like reading different styles of defense on the post. I'm not a big fan of fronting the post unless we have too. I watched a lot of teams play last year that fronted the post on a guy that was not a scoring threat at all. Then people wondered why the offensive guy kept getting rebounds on a perimeter shot. If you have some size why not push the man off the block and make a bad offensive threat beat you from 8 feet away from the basket.
