great--except that you don't want to have your hands reaching for the ball. If i see a post player doing that, I won't pass it to him, b/c the defender easily slips around. Both hands need to be up, perpendicular to shoulders so that the post player can feel and block the defender from circling around him.

cheers!

dude your right. You need to keep your man back before you recieve the ball.

WRONG! guys guys guys, correct way to post up: You get down on the block, get your butt into the guy, get low, back him down, call for the ball, one hand up with the other hand on the guy feelin where he is at, then once you get the ball you back him up even more, get agressive and make a move.
