Duke 6-point post contesting
 | 1 Coach K With the ball at halfcourt, X5 defends 5 in transition, seeing the ball. |
 | 2 With 5 at the block and the ball at midcourt, X5 is in an open position, taking up space near the elbow. As the ball moves to the wing above the foul-line extended, X5 moves to defend 5 on the high side, his right hand denying a pass, his left hand in a closed fist to avoid grabbing 5's jersey. |
 | 3 When the ball is below the foul-line extended, X5 defends 5 from the low side so he can open up to cut off baseline penetration. |
 | 4 X5 denies with the ball up top. Do not open up when the ball is reversed to the top, a lot of teams will flex cut then have 5 duck in. |
 | 5 On a pass to 3, X5 opens to a help position, then stops baseline penetration by 3 with active voice and hands (taking a charge as necessary). |
 | 6 Then X5 denies a high-post cut by 5, and opens up to a help position when 5 returns to the block. X5 must box out 5 if there is a shot. |
