Sean Miller USA Basketball Post Drop Drill – In this drill, Coach Miller encourages chemistry between the guards and bigs by teaching the guards how to pass down to the post off of dribble penetration as well as positioning for the post players. Coach Miller gives the guards two options: 1) lob pass to the post player (frame 1) or 2) bounce pass to the post player on the baseline (frame 3). To start the drill, the guards dribble past a cone (or coach) into the middle of the floor and quick-stop in the lane to make the pass. The post players start on the baseline with chests facing half-court. If a bounce pass is made, the post player turns to face the baseline and prepares to take on contact at the rim. Guards and posts will switch line to get practice on both sides of the floor.
