POST PLAY THOUGHTS

The following are a few thoughts on post play from Norm Ellenberger:

Height is the most overemphasized thing in the game.

If you can't play vertically, teach them to play laterally.

You must practice finishing. Get a football blocking dummy. After you shoot, as soon as your feet hit the floor, you leap back into the air.

Never leave a hook shot short.

Don't allow too much ball in your fake, Don't fake the ball up over your head.

The best fake inside isn't the ball, it's the head and eyes.
