Coach Jim Boone is one of the best teachers of the Pack Line Defense and in the clip below he discusses the key principles of the Post Trap in the Pack Line Defense.
While the #1 goal of post defense in the Pack Line is keeping the ball out of the post, Coach Boone shares his key principles for trapping when the ball has been entered into the post.
In Coach Boone’s Pack Line Defense, he likes to trap big to big.
As the trap is happening, Coach Boone teaches for the bigs to be toe-to-toe and have their hands active. They want to prevent a skip pass or a cutting pass.
The rule is to be as physical as they can be without fouling

In the clip below coach Kermit Davis shares a Passing Drill that he calls Dribble Follows
Dribble Follows drill is an amazing drill to use at any time of the year, because it allows us to work on passing and cutting, but you will also have the option to work on post-up game for your guards and wings.
The drill begins with the ball on the wing and another offensive player in the corner. The player with the ball dribbles to the point and the corner man follows and replaces his teammate on the wing.
The player and the top stops , pivots on his inside trailing foot, steps through and passes with his outside hand (left in this video).
After making the pass to the wing the player and the point cuts to the basket.
After receiving the ball on the wing player will sweep and pass to the cutter in the post.
The drill can be used on a dribble from the point to the wing with the opposite wing following the dribble to the point.
It is recommended to have a defender down low with the pad. If you have enough coaches in practice, it is also recommended to add defenders on the entry post-pass.
