How Significant Are Rebounds?

The top 20 rebounding teams in the Nation win over 80% of their games.

3 Important Principles of Rebounding:

#1 Assume that every shot will miss.
No matter what, box out your opponent on every single shot as if the shot will miss. Doing so will put you in a better position to rebound if the shot does miss.


#2 Use Two & Two
Rebound with two feet and two hands. Don’t just stand and wait on the ball, or even stand and reach for the ball. Instead, you need to jump up to the ball and snatch it out of the air.

#3 Understand Rebound Angles & Distance.
70% of the time, a missed shot from the wing or corner will come off the rim opposite the shooter (opposite side of the court).

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.
