Post play is an important part of any offense. Our base alignment is 50, which means all five players operate on the perimeter. However, we encourage our players to take advantage of mismatches in the post when they're able to. At times, we will adjust and play a 41 or 32 alignment to maximize the strengths of our players. Regardless of how you end up in the post (via a cut and seal or a set alignment), there are several reads that can be made. Below are two ways to get into the post.
When the ball is entered into the post, the post player should look to score if there is an opportunity.
If, at any time, there is a post feed, the feeder must make a Laker Cut.
Note: the cutter must cut through the elbow on a Laker Cut
The other perimeter players should fill the next open spots.
Regardless of whether you are in the 41 Alignment, 32 Alignment, or if a player simply cut and sealed their man in the 50 Alignment, the post player has specific reactions to drives.
If the ball handler drives below the post man, he makes an I-Cut.
If the ball handler drives above the post player, the post player should relocate to the short corner.
If a player does not get the ball in the post, they can screen their way out.
