Big boy rebounding article

“The way I think about it is you can’t get a rebound if you don’t go, so I try to crash every time,” Kelly said. “It’s not really anything you can practice, you’ve just got to be committed to trying to go get the rebound.”

Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie certainly took notice.

Sounds a lot like Charles Barkely's rebounding philosophy.

It's a lot easy for other teams to get the boards after we shoot because we don't send multiple players to the offensive glass. There is rarely more than one Husky there. The priority is to get back as fast as we can because our transition defense hasn't been good.

When the Huskies are on defense, the opponent can crash the boards with as many dudes as they want because our fast break doesn't scare anyone.

It's tough to be us.

Yeah we definitely have to crash boards from all sides .. it should always be 3 to the glass when we shoot .. I was taught when you shoot always follow ya shot as a kid but once I got up in hs the coach told us if u shoot u get back and depending on what side the shot is coming from, the players on opposite side crashes
But you mostly need toughness n heart

Nobody goes for the ball after a shot, but in fairness we don’t have a Rashard.

The problem that infuriates me the most is for our players to chuck 3s with no team mates at all in anything close to rebounding position. When you're playing with 4 perimeter players and one big, and you use the big to come out an set a screen, somebody else -- preferably two perimeter players -- should replace him in the paint. It ain't rocket science. It's common sense.

Its our version of positionless basketball - no one plays a position
