Here is a summary chapter by chapter:

THE INTRODUCTION

Better Post Play begins with an inspiring introduction explaining how the video is organized and how a player should use the video to develop his or her post game.

4 minutes, 59 seconds.

Chapter 1: POST PHILOSOPHY

Before you learn precise techniques to get open and score, you must develop the heart and the mind of a winning post player. Post Philosophy gives thoughts and principles to help you develop the determination and mindset of a successful post player.

Perhaps the most important of the seven principles in Post Philosophy is titled Keep It Simple.Better Post Play contains dozens of moves, not to mention their countermoves. You don't need to master every single move to be successful. So when you watch the video, work only on what's going to best fit you and your team's style of play.

3 minutes, 14 seconds.

Chapter 2: FUNDAMENTALS

Most of chapter two is geared toward younger players still learning the game's more basic fundamentals. For example, younger players must learn to go up strong and seek contact. They must learn the power shot, and how to shoot with the non-contact arm. They must be able to win both the arm and foot battle to get open and look open, and then be able to hold that seal. Finally, they must be able to receive the ball with either one hand or two hands, chin it, and read what's going on. These (and more) are the fundamentals of post play, and they're explained in detail in this Fundamentals

But the chapter also gets extremely advanced at times. For example, Coach Torbett explains how to win the arm battle by controlling your defender's arm with a bicep clamp, a move that many officials will let you get away with.

9 minutes, 36 seconds.

Chapter 3: GETTING OPEN VS. ZONES

If you can't get open, all your moves to score with the ball are useless. So chapters 3 and 4 dive into getting open against zone defenses and man to man defenses, respectively.

Sections in this chapter include Screen the Center, Work the Seams, Attack from Behind, and Cut Early or Cut Late.

By the way, the Better Basketball videos are not only great fundamental improvement tools, they're also fun to watch. So we asked some of the best streetballers in Atlanta, on Atlanta's premier street-ball court, to demonstrate Coach Torbett's techniques. And you're not hallucinating, the guys played some zone defense, and they played it well!

3 minutes, 53 seconds.

Chapter 4: GETTING OPEN VS MAN TO MAN

Chapter 4 contains techniques that all post players must master, movements that you should be able to use instinctively when the defense plays you a specific way. A few examples are the Cheat Step, Reverse Pivot and the Leg Whip.

The moves used to get open in this chapter are based on combinations of the following:

1. Where you want to receive the ball,
2. Where you're located in relationship to the ball,
3. The position of your defender.

In the chapter, these combinations account for 22 moves to get open! And by the way, these moves are not counted in Chapter 10, which runs through only the moves to score!

9 minutes, 16 seconds.

Chapter 5: SCORING BEFORE YOU GET THE BALL

Coach Torbett states at the very beginning of the chapter, "When watching the pros on TV, many times the post player simply catches and dunks, and most spectators think, 'Nice dunk, but he didn't do anything special.'

Coach continues... "Sometimes that's the case, but usually it's not. A lot of good basketball went on before the pass was made. In other words, the post player's moves were made before he got the ball."

Chapter 5 contains these hidden moves... The battle that most spectators miss, but the fraternity of post players know all too well. The defender's own position is used to beat him.

5 minutes, 49 seconds.

Chapter 6: THE AIRTIME ADVANTAGE

Chapter six contains a series of moves that revolve around drop stepping while the ball is in the air. You'll use these moves when a defender plays you to on side or the other. The chapter goes into great detail on what is basically one move. This includes the move's footwork, counters, even using the move from different spots on the court.

Also included in this chapter is a step-by-step breakdown of how to execute the Up and Under, a favorite counter for a lot of post players.

5 minutes, 10 seconds.

Chapter 7: BACK TO THE BASKET

Back to the basket moves are often considered traditional post play, but may be the toughest way to score because you don't start with any real advantage on your defender. So Coach Torbett explains a number of moves and counter moves, and goes into great detail on each of them.

The chapter is basically divided into four sections -= the Spin n Go, the Step-Pound-Hop, the Step-Pound-Pivot, and the Front Pivot.

The key to many of these moves is to be able to read your defender. If he stops your initial move, you must have a counter. Most of the counters have been taught already at various points in the video, such as the Up and Under in chapter 6 and the Baby Hook in chapter 2.

7 minutes, 9 seconds.

Chapter 8: THE PRO STANCE

In the pros, many players have mastered the moves in chapters 5 and 6. So defenders simply stay behind the post player and push them as far away from the basket as possible. That's why you see this type of play so often in the pros, and it's why we call it the Pro Stance

In this entertaining chapter, Coach Torbett first explains why learning the pro stance is so advantageous. He then details how to receive the ball and other pro stance fundamentals.

Finally, the chapter shows 16 pro stance moves and countermoves. These are based not only on your defender's position but also on the help defense. After all, you might have to beat two players!

4 minutes, 17 seconds.

Chapter 9: THE EXTREMES: SHORT CORNER AND HIGH POST

In this unique chapter, we focus on two areas that require slightly different reads and moves than normal post play, the Short Corner and the High Post.

You're most likely to get the ball in the short corner when a player penetrates and dishes to you, or when you're attacking a zone from behind. And, of course, there are a number of times when you'll attack from the high post, but the best players can make a play from any position!

4 minutes, 23 seconds.

Chapter 10: JUST THE MOVES, ONE AFTER ANOTHER

The video's last chapter contains no speaking, just music by the Hutton Experience and every scoring move in the video (so not the moves from chapters 3 and 4 to get open, and not all the fundamentals in chapter 2 and elsewhere). It's a fun chapter to watch, and perhaps an advanced player can get to a point where he or she has mastered all 66 moves!

3 minutes, 57 seconds.

BONUS SECTIONS: JERMAINE O'NEAL & TAMIKA CATCHINGS

What separates the average pro from those that dominate the game? What makes Jermaine and Tamika special?

1. Heart
2. Hard Work
3. Knowing the Game

In their sections, Jermaine and Tamika explain all of their favorite moves, how they train in the off season and prepare for games, what motivates them, and so much more.

And both players go into great detail about their post game, expanding on basically every series of moves that Coach Torbett teaches in his section of the video. It's a great learning tool, one all players will benefit from, regardless of their skill level or age!

CONCLUSION AND FINAL THOUGHTS

In addition to the video's ten chapter and the sections by Jermaine O'Neal and Tamika Catchings, the tape ends with a short and motivating Wrapping It Up section. Not including the menu screen on the DVD version, the total running time of Better Post Play is an incredible 2 hours, 41 minutes, making it a video that you'll study for years.

This video demands a new level for what a sports instructional product must be - incredibly detailed, professionally made, and packed with so much content that players will watch it over and over. It furthers the proud tradition set by Better Basketball's Better Shooting, Better Ball Handling, Better 1 on 1 Defense, and Better Passing!
