When most players are on offense, their body is always facing the basket. It’s the only way they can keep eye on everything that’s happening in front of them and ensures they’re in the right position when running a play.For players posting up, it’s the opposite.Instead of their body facing toward the basket, players posting up have their body facing away from the basket. With their body facing towards their teammate, the post-up player signals to the rest of the team when they’re ready to receive the ball.
