Some ideas for defending the low post if you have a lack of size.

They will usually bring the extra defender from one of three areas: from the top, from the baseline and from the closest perimeter player.

Skilled teams can make you pay for putting an extra player on the ball.

Passing it out of the double team will put the defense in outnumbered situations.

The Ramblers excel in rotating out of these situations to get matched up before the offense can make them pay.
