5 on 5 shell double down
 | 1 Ian MacKinnon Shell drill to double team the post. Attackers pass the ball, defenders allow a post entry. Progression - go live on the post entry. See Defending - Pistons innings, Woodley post. |
 | 2 a) Double-team from the top On a post feed to 5, double team from the top with X1, X5 takes away baseline, X2 takes away a return pass to 2 (face guard). Here 4 dives. Jeff Lebo - Doubling the Post - they double down from the top. Don't allow the ball to be entered into the post from the top, or into the low post below the block. Play behind the post, but forcing a low-post entry above the block. They want the ball to be entered on the baseline side, the post defender needs to recover quickly and force the post player back to the middle where the double team will come from. Deny the pass back to the wing (deny guy), a weakside defender breaks to the area out top replacing the player who went down to double (interceptor), and the remaining weakside defender drops and protects the basket (goaltender). |
 | 3 X3 takes the pass out of the trap, X1 goes opposite the pass and has leftovers. Spurs Post Double - X3 takes the pass to 1, if 4 rotates out to 3, X1 must recover to front big 4. Jeff Van Gundy - X action can be used when a perimeter player is double-teaming the ball in the low post and a skip pass is made. If X1 will have trouble closing out on 1 if 5 passes to 3, X2 takes 1 and X1 takes 2 (x-action by X1 and X2). |
 | 4 4 dives on a post feed from 3, so X1 not X4 double teams with X5. |
 | 5 X2 has first pass, X1 has leftovers. On a pass out top to 1, he wants to make the extra pass to 2 unless X2 is in the passing lane. |
 | 6 b) Double-team with a designated trapper If X2 is the trapper, X1 would rotate to cover a pass back to 2. Monstering - double-team with X4. X5 may play directly behind 5 with the ball on the wing, but does not allow a post entry from the top. Here X3 would make 4 cut behind. If the passer cuts, X2 stays with him. |
