Post moves: drop step and hook

Setup

1. Groups of three: a post player on the low block, a defender behind them, a feeder on the wing.
2. The post starts outside the lane so the 3-second count isn't running.

How it runs

1. The post seals with a wide base and a hand target; the feeder passes in.
2. Catch with two hands, chin the ball and feel the defender with the backside.
3. Defender on the high side: drop-step the baseline foot, seal them on the hip and power up off two feet.
4. Defender on the baseline side: pivot and step into the lane for a jump hook, shooting hand away from the defender.

Coaching points

• Sit low and wide before the catch; meet the pass with two hands.
• The pivot foot stays down until the ball is released; one power dribble is allowed, then gather.
• Hook: inside arm up as a shield, not pushing, shooting elbow up and a flick over the top.

Common mistakes

• Bringing the ball down low where guards can dig at it.
• Spinning without knowing where the defender is.
• Camping in the lane before the catch (3 seconds).
