High-Low Lob vs Fronting Post 3-on-2

Setup

Offense has a wing, a high post and a low post; defense has a fronting post defender and a weak-side help defender who starts in the lane. The ball starts on the wing.

How it runs

1. Wing looks inside; the low post defender plays in front so the direct entry is closed.
2. Wing reverses the ball to the high post at the elbow.
3. Low post holds the defender on his back as the ball moves up, pivots on the top foot and calls for the ball with a high outside hand.
4. High post reads the weak-side helper: if the helper stays home, throw the lob; if the helper steps across, hit the wing on the skip or shoot the elbow jumper.
5. Play live until a score or a defensive stop.

Coaching point

Low post should not chase the ball; hold position and let the pass come to you.
