In Part 2 of this ‘2-Game’ Blog Series, we will focus on our Post Series. This series was started whenever our point guard was able to enter the ball to the high post on either side.

Many of these actions are simple, but difficult to defend when run with precision and executed repeatedly in practice.If you have post players who are good passers and guards who can read the defense, these series will be very effective for you.

The key, just as it was in ‘Yankee‘, is to make sure the players have the freedom to create within a framework that teaches them spacing and ball movement.

Post Series
The diagram below breaks down our Post Series:

  • Frame 1 – 1 enters to 5. While the ball is in the air, 2 cuts hard to the rim, and 5 looks to hit 2 on backdoor if open.
  • Frame 2 – 1 jab steps and then cuts off of 5. If 1’s defender goes behind, 5 hands to 1 for a jumper and rolls to the basket.
  • Frame 3 – If 5 does not give 1 the ball, 5 takes 1 hard dribble toward middle at 3, who is cutting hard across the top as 4 rolls down the lane. If 3’s defender goes under, 5 hands the ball to 3.
  • Frame 4 – If 5 still has the ball at this point, 4 is sealing defender down low and 2 elevates on the wing. 5 can hit 2 or 4. If 2 receives pass from 5, 2 looks to enter to 4 in the post.
That sums up the simplicity of 2-Game Post Series. In Part 3, we will go through four specials you can run out of 2-Game as well.
