Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 4124019, member: 7631"] There are some really good points in the first several posts. I think they can be summed up in two points: 1) Rebounding is a team effort. Your boxout is as likely get a teammate the rebound as it is to get you the rebound. 2) It needs to be automatic. I love cwaduke's analogy -- scales and arpeggios create muscle memory. As a practice session begins with scales, maybe every basketball practice should begin with boxing out (and end with free throws). Wes Unseld regularly gave up 4-5 inches to his mark, didn't have a great vertical, but he was a great rebounder because his body understood what he needed to do. [/QUOTE]
