1 vs. 2 Post Double Pass Out Drill

Setup X4 is guarding the coach with the ball on the strong side wing. Another coach is on the wing. The offensive player starts in the low post with x5 defending.  x5 can guard any you want -- fronting, playing behind, or half-fronting. Note:

• For variation, you can have the post player start on the baseline, on the other block, or even on the strong side wing in order to work on posting up from various spots.
• If fronted or defended on the high-side, the offensive player would have to work around the defender.

Coach makes post entry to 5. As soon as coach makes post entry, x1 will dig down, helping x5. Note: The offensive player must be very quick and decisive if they are going to score on the catch. On the catch, the offensive player can attack right away before the double team gets there. x1 needs to "dig hard".

If the offensive player can't score prior to x1 doubling, then they must retreat using the backup dribble (ball should be dribbled at back leg). 5 will then throw a skip pass to the coach on the opposite wing.

After the skip pass, x1 will step off while the offensive post will fight across the lane to re-establish position on the opposite block. If on the cut across the lane the defensive player makes contact with the offensive player (bumps cutter), the offensive player should use a spin move and continue the route to the opposite block. The coach with the ball will pass it to the offensive player when the offense calls for it. It will be one-on-one after the offensive player receives the pass.

Variation As a variation, the offensive player can cut up to the elbow following the skip pass and play one-on-one from there.

If you want just your post players to do the drill, you can have a post player guarding the coach.  When the post pass is entered, x4 will sprint to the closest elbow before going to double team.
