Rebounding Notes Outline

We take great pride in our rebounding. We have one of the top rebounders in the country in Junior Post Emma Cannon. Here is another handout that our players put in their notebooks. We then discuss and build our rebounding off these principles.

REBOUNDING

Statistics Related to Winning:
1. Good field goal percentage
2. Turnover Ratio
3. Rebounding—The top 20 rebounding teams in the nation, win over 80% of their games.

Principles of Rebounding—
1. Assume:
a. Offense—assume that every shot is a miss. Send 4 to boards.
b. Defense—assume every opponent is a terrible shooter. Send all 5 players to make physical contact.

2. Chin the Ball:
a. Chinning the ball—
i. Fingers spread wide and straight up when holding the ball.
ii. Elbows are held straight out in both directions.
iii. Try to squeeze the basketball.

3. Two From Two
a. Rebound with two feet with two hands.

4. Go Up With Both Hands Up
a. Both hands are up with elbows at least shoulder high


OFFENSIVE REBOUNDING
1. Offensive Rebounding Rules:
a. See The Shot
i. A shot taken from 20 feet away will usually be rebounded 10 feet from the glass. The rule is half the distance of the shot.
ii. Shot taken on the left side will usually be rebounded on the right side.
b. Assume That All Shots Will Be Missed
c. Go To A Gap & Make Contact
i. Get the best piece of the pie. If the shot is taken from the right side, the best piece of the pie would be the baseline side of the defensive player.
ii. Go to a gap and block out the defensive player.
iii. Go to a gap and get even.
iv. Keep the ball alive.
1. How do you go to a gap?
a. If the player is in a block out position, you tap with the outside hand and swim with the inside hand. Get in a wide block position after this.


DEFENSIVE REBOUNDING
1. Defensive Rebounding Rules:
a. See or Hear The Shot
i. This is why a shot call is so vital. You are so involved with defending that you cannot see the shot. You must have a shot call by the person guarding the shooter.
ii. Get visual contact before you get physical contact. You must pick up who you are going to block out.
iii. Physical contact inside the arc. Proactive contact. I go after him.
