I want to make sure I am teaching my players correctly. Normally we 3/4 front the post but from time to time I'll have a girl who wants to do it "her way" and will play behind. Invariably, the opponent finds this post player and feeds her the ball. I have been teaching my girls that when they square and shoot, you're only recourse is to stand tall, put your hands stright up and hope she can't shoot. I've used the analogy that there is a plane of glass between the two of you and if you break it, chances are you'll be called for a foul. Any thoughts?

And as always, be gentle.

Good job coach, but watch them and look for a few things that will get them in trouble, even with your good coaching.

The, "I'm not worthy," chop and back to vertical arm motion.

The "bellying up" on the shooter. Looks like a reverse C for the golfers out there.

The "step up" which is similar to the "bellying up" but has feet moving the body into the shooter.
