Nike Basketball Coaching Clinic | Learn Post Skill Development from Kevin Sutton of George Washington University

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

These Nike basketball coaching clinic notes will help you learn post skill development from Kevin Sutton. Kevin Sutton is a George Washington University Assistant Coach; former Montverde Academy Men’s Basketball Head Coach, and NIKE Skill Academy Instructor. I think that you will love his basketball drills.

Coach Sutton will share drills to help your team in post skill development. You will learn terms such as mini-land, mid-line, post across, foot fight, chin and check, pound dribble and run for scores. He uses chairs in most of his basketball coaching material and dictates ball placement. Leverage is something that Coach Sutton will show you with one on one play in the post area. Most of the post drills use leverage with the scoring in the post. Coach Sutton will show you basketball drills to work on deep post-ups, foot quickness, pivoting, shooting, posting up, and various offensive post moves. The main focus for one on one play is using game situations and developing competive play. All these drills in the Nike Basketball Coaching Clinic notes will help develop the parts that make a total post player.

Coach Sutton’s drills will help you understand how important making mistakes out of aggression are for constant improvement. Coach Sutton uses two balls in almost every drill. If you use tennis balls, Coach Sutton is able to get players to focus on hand-eye coordination skills. Most of Coach Sutton’s Basketball Drills are clear and concise, yet clever and easy to implement for all levels
