This "basketballposition", as some coaches call it, is one of the least understood fundamentals of basketball.
Just as getting a quick start is important in basketball, equally important is being able to come to a quick stop and still be in the "fundamental basketballposition." There are many times, in the course of a game, where you get the ball on the run.
By crouching as you land, you are now in the "fundamental basketballposition." You are ready to shoot, receive a pass, or make a cut (a sharp, quick move made to get open) in another direction.
When you practice these moves, be sure that you turn, face the basket, and assume proper basketballposition: your feet a shoulder's width apart and pointed toward the basket, your knees are flexed, and your shoulders are facing the basket.
When fighting for position down low, the most important thing to do is to present yourself as a good target for your teammates.
If you are positioned down low on the ball side, but your man is keeping you from getting a pass, a good way to free yourself is with a reverse move.
