For the coaches out there:
How are you teaching rebounding?
Old school:
- step across
- elbows up
- push back
- get the ball
This kind of rebounding is very horizontal. The whole team is supposed to create a shell with their man so everyone on offense is inside the defender before grabbing the board.
Some coaches even teach to hold the box out after the ball has hit the rim, even hit the ground. Some also teach a complete box out OUTSIDE the 3 pt line.
Think Kevin Love.
New school (how I teach):
Ball goes up, you hit a body with a forearm and pursue the ball immediately.
This style is less about technique. More about athleticism and mentality.
Think Rodman.
What are you all doing?
