In the book, Coach Gaudet breaks post play into R-R-R-R-R-R-R:
Run the court
Rebound
Root out in the post
Reject
Rotate
Recover
Relocate
He breaks down each segment in terms of how to be best execute and develop each. All throughout the book is also short writing from Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe on various post players in the NBA (many of which will make for great passouts for our post players). The book closes with over 50 pages of drills for post play development.
I can't imagine a coach on any level not getting a great deal from Coach Guadet's book and wished I had come across it earlier as well. I was absolutely shocked to see that you could purchase the book for only $5!

Here is a short excerpt from the book with Coach Gaudet talking about rebounding:
Coaches: Heap plenty of praise on each player who consistently rebounds. All players want to please their coach. Let your team see the passion you have for this crucial aspect of the game. make sure that in your game-like execution of drills, all defensive sequences are completed with a rebound. keep rebounding statistics, and make this part of the game an important segment of your practices. That ratio of attempts to opportunities for rebounds for all your 5-on-5 drills and scrimmages might be a bit more more work for a manager, but may prove critical in your practice evaluations. That statistic, rebounds you should have gotten, can be reviewed in film sessions to show players where they could improve rebounding with more effort, a better technique, or increased physical strength.
For effective offensive rebounding, the players need to stay active. I have heard Pete Newell identify the qualities of a good offensive rebounder as a player who uses movement, creativity, energy and competitiveness. This bit of knowledge might encourage (or scare) some of your players.
