In my opinion, she does this better than any post we have.

Opinion of head or heart?
She does work hard on certain aspects but her timing of and method of posting up are the deficiencies I see in her game
Physically, she needs to go through training to learn how to extend her stride and lift her knees running, and how to jump with the use of both legs and feet

I like the kid, see a ton of potential,,,but she needs to see the whole picture and understand that in this level, working on you body and game, never stops

Free Emily!

Both Key and KK post up sooner and more physical than Emily...trouble is Key gets beat up and tired from being the only true back to the basket post and KK does that "bring the ball to the belly" before she powers up or worse yet, that "power dribble" when not needed.

So I am Em's biggest proponent, but I am also a coach,,,and she will have to earn it

KK needs to do some extra work in the gym @nd lose a few lbs as well as learn how to use the board on her shots. I expected her to be in better condition this year.

Hi coach, I’m embarrassed to admit this but I never understand what “post up” means. Can you give quick lesson without wasting other poster’s time? Sorry.

Sure,,,

One scenario:

When the ball breaks the half-court line on a bring-down, it is a cue for each part of the offense-players to begin to set up for either a sequence of moves (aka ,,, motion offense) or it is a cue for the players already on the scoring end to begin to work for a shot or scoring opportunity.

For the down-low (near the basket) players, this is called "posting-up".

For post-players (Usually your tallest players or best one-on-one back-to-the-basket players),,,,once the ball passes half-court,,they should begin jockeying for position to receive a pass into the deep paint...preferably within the dotted line for a post-player if in the paint, or at the low-block (the large black boxes on the sides of the lane) if the player is on one side or the other of the paint

There are two types of post-ups...
"Back to the basket" players who score with moves like (jump-hooks, reverse-pivot drives, reverse-pivot fade-aways, etc)
and
"Facing-up" players who like to face the basket and shoot over or use quickness s to go around defenders or moves like up-n-unders

Emily waits until the ball has been on her side of half-court 2 or 3 dribbles before she goes to work.
Which is too long so she mostly only gets the opportunistic feeds.

Key and KK work the hardest and earliest ,,but both have more of a face-up game as well.
Scoring with your back to the basket-upon reception is a dying art

Thanks so much. I always envisioned it was somehow a parallel to a post route in football so your explanation really clarifies things. Really appreciate it.
