Low post offence- Post moves facing the basket

At any time that the low post player is defended from behind and cannot make a back to the basket
move he should turn and face the basket by using a forward pivot. After receiving the ball and taking it up under his chin, the post player should glance down past his baseline foot which is the foot closest the baseline and if he sees a foot of the defence, or feels strong contact on that side you should then make a forward pivot on your baseline foot to face the basket, staying low and wide and bringing the ball to his baseline shoulder. If there is no shot available the post player may fake a shot and then make a crossover step to the inside of the lane for a hook shot.
