WHAT IS…Front the Post?A.Positioning the defender between the passer and the post player to prevent an easy post entry pass, especially after a switch creates a size mismatch.B.A man-to-man defensive philosophy that keeps the ball out of the middle of the floor by forcing every drive toward the sideline or baseline, allowing the defense to rotate predictably and protect the paint.C.Directing the offense into difficult in-between shots such as floaters and runners instead of allowing layups, middle drives, or open three-point shots.D.Trusting the on-ball defender to guard the ball without immediate help so off-ball defenders can remain connected to shooters.
