I've been waiting for this thread. Rebounding is one of my all-time favorite things to talk about. it was MO when I played. :)

The problem is you have no leverage in that situation, unless the description is just too lax. Also, how are you positioned when you do that? The full complete box out (not driving them out 5 feet but getting position) does a few things:

- gives you the leverage between 2 players 
- gives you better rebound positioning
- squares you up with the basket to give you a bigger rebounding radius than other techniques

I like doing this and then playing it off the rim with your athleticism and mentality. You want to give yourself as much time as possible with the enhanced position so you can see where the ball is going to go. If your players leave too early they become susceptible to misreads and long rebounds or even just guys following them and getting up over them because they didn't do a full box out.

However, this whole convo would be a lot easier to review with video.
