Post Entry and Split
The wing feeds the post, then the two perimeter players split around it: the passer screens for the guard at the top, the guard cuts off the screen toward the basket, and the screener pops back out. The post player reads it: hit the cutter, the popper, or score himself.

Coaching points
- No standing after a post entry: the perimeter players split on the pass.
- Screener: screen the guard's defender, then open up and pop to the ball.
- Cutter: set the defender up away from the screen, cut tight off it.
- Post: catch, chin, face the middle, and read the cutter first, then the popper.
Phase by phase
1Phase 1
P seals on the block and shows a target. W feeds him with a bounce pass to the hand away from the imagined defender.
- W passes to P
2Phase 2
Split: the passer W goes up to screen for G. G sets it up and cuts off the screen toward the rim; W pops back out to the top.
- W screens for G
- G cuts to the top
- G cuts
- W cuts to the top
3Phase 3
P hits the cutter for the layup. If the cutter is covered, the dashed option: the pass back out to the popper for the shot.
- P passes to G
- G shoots
- P passes to Woption
Variations
- Add three passive defenders, then play it live 3-on-3.
- Post may also score with a drop step when the defenders stay home.
- Run it from the left side, or with the entry from the top.
