Hello to you all. I am back writing my column after a long break. One of the drills that I use for my post player development follows. - Chris Angle into Elbows Requirements: One coach, 2-4 players and two basketballs.  Post player starts at the elbow facing the basket. The coach starts under the basket with the ball. The post backpedals five steps (straight back), then runs diagonally into the opposite elbow. The coach will pass the ball for the jump shot. The post backpedals five steps and diagonally into the other elbow.
Note: If the post is going from right to left, have her step in right-left for her shot. If the post is going from left to right, have her step in left-right for the shot. Options: Have the coach pass to the post at the end of the backpedal before they angle in. The player must dribble into the elbow.
