Is there a site that determines post plays?

IS there a website that you can access how many post up attempts on avg each team attempts? I was wondering whether post up plays are diminishing because of the new zone rules.

Synergy offers percentage of team plays broken down and that break-down includes post plays. It doesn't go very far back, only to about 2010 I believe, and it's a subscription-based service, but you could get an idea going forward. Maybe chart some games from older eras to compare.

Yes they are:

The league overall understands this, though some coaching staffs have been quicker than others in adjusting their systems. The percentage of offensive possessions that end with isolation plays and post-up shots has declined every season for the last five years, per Synergy Sports. In 2008-09, the year after the Celtics used a Thibodeau-designed system to create one of the stingiest defenses ever, 27 of the league's 30 teams still finished at least 9 percent of their offensive possessions via an isolation play, according to Synergy Sports. The Magic, at 7.4 percent, were the least isolation-prone team in the league that season. This season, 15 teams — half the league — are below that 9 percent isolation mark, and a whopping 11 have lower isolation shares than Milwaukee's league-low number from 2008-09. The drop in post-ups has been similar, and the numbers would seem to indicate an increase in ball movement.
