REBOUNDING…it’s all about effort!!!

1. -Focus on  rebounding on every shot taken in practice or games.

2. -Evaluate your rebounding on effort rather than the number of rebounds you get in a practice or game.

3. -Emphasize your block out effort on each shot.

4. -Focus on  the number of times you made the all out effort to get the offensive boards vs. the number of opportunities you wasted.

5. -We need to get 50% of all our missed shots including our free throws.

DEFENSIVE REBOUNDING TECHNIQUES (BOPCRO)

1. -Pass protect block or step in his crotch and put a forearm in his chest.

2. -Hit your opponent, make him take a step back, and pursue the ball.

3. -We go to the best slice of the pie if our man does not go to the board.

4. -Clean, chinned rebounds are a key to transition.

5. -Our guards will be great defensive rebounders.  Their defensive rebound quickens the fast break.

OFFENSIVE REBOUNDING TECHNIQUES

1. -We treat each teammates shot as a pass to us.

2. -We pursue the ball.   We avoid contact and don’t’ go to a back.  We want to be inside, beside, or burying our opponent.

3. -We carry our hands at shoulder height for quick jumping and rebound capture.

4. -When we can’t get the rebound we keep the ball alive by tipping it to someone else.

5. -We get the ball inside to the post and we get dribble penetration into the lane to maximize our offensive rebounding.  Our guards will follow up the post player’s shot.  We will rebound the dribble penetrator’s shot.
