Post Rules:
Post Rules:
The dunker spot is defined as the low post.
Generally, the dunker should align on the left side of the floor to keep the right side open for drives, but they can work on both sides.
Dunkers may work both sides of the floor, but generally only when they move on drives or if they are a post scoring threat.
How does a player get to the dunker spot?
Our team starts out in 41 alignment with a designated dunker.
Through role definition, a player cuts from the perimeter while in 50 alignment and seals in the post, holding in the dunker spot for a period of time (seals can come off of basket cuts, pick and roll cuts, slips on screens, etc.).
Dunkers can post up, react to drives, and screen perimeter players.
Dunkers can stay in the post for the duration of the possession or can back screen their way out to the perimeter in the middle of a possession.
