The rule
We front the high post and the low post.We post up like we want the ball.We track how many entries we allow.
From the Coaches Orientation, 3.2.2.4Installation status for this roster is not stated in the sources
Why we front
Deny the entry.Show help.Rotate.
From the Coaches Orientation, 3.2.2.5Free to rotate
We front so we’re free to leave and make the next rotation.
From the Coaches Orientation, 3.2.2.6Free to help
We front so we can show help without being stuck behind a player.
From the Coaches Orientation, 3.2.2.7How: Don’t wrestle
When we front the post, we don’t run into his side and wrestle.We run straight into the passing lane without touching him.
From the Coaches Orientation, 3.2.1.7In his words
Paint touches hurt us. What do we preach to our guys? Get a paint touch. So are we going to stand behind the high and low post and let them make the entry? Absolutely 100% hell to the no.Coaches Orientation, slide 15
