You were talking about it's about them rebounding their attempts. I assumed you were talking about them getting offensive rebounds off of their zillion three point attempts because that's what they do.
Eh, the danger is not that their possessions are too short, but that our guys are out of position.
smarter!
May be a great game for Samson with run out dunks off if long rebounds
Yes after you said their bigs driving into Clingan is a bad strategy. Maybe it’s too much to think those are the attempts I’m talking about.
The third guy who was on F68 with Dauster and Goodman basically said they should pack the paint and hope we stay cold shooting. I have no idea if Alabama has a zone defense in their repertoire, but I would not be surprised to see some kind of junk D at that end.
Jacking up threes is the only shot they've got, it's what they do. They're worse at driving and in the paint than Illinois, they're guaranteed to get routed if they try to do what Illinois tried to do.
Not really...
Well, it's a fresh new court with strange surroundings. This can throw off a three-point shooting team. We haven't relied upon the three in some time. It if show up for us all the better. Do we have a better offensive mix? We'll see and hope that that is the case.
I am truly curious what the defensive game plan is for Oats. Doubling Clingan is a really dangerous move. Maybe they try to double off Castle there but then I think Hurley just counters with the Andre dunker game plan from last year. Maybe he does gamble and just count on the shooters being cold, but if the Bama defenders have to close out hard, our ball movement and ability for the guards to get into the lane is going to lead to wide open looks all over, including at the basket.
I suspect that's at least partly due to long rebounds off all the threes they shoot.
Well, to be fair, that team was offensively challenged in the halfcourt. This team ? Not so much
That's exactly what it is.
The one that stand out to me is the last line. They commit a LOT of fouls. Holy cow.
Are people saying this because they understand it as a general basketball rule? Or are they just guessing?
Long rebounds make it more of a 50/50 chance, because the position that your bigs get when boxing out doesn’t matter at that point. Also, the shooter can read well where the ball will come off.
Look at their rebounding numbers. Not much difference between guards and bigs. Usually happens with lots of 3s because 3pt come off farther and faster from the rim.
That’s not how I learned it. It was always shots at the rim have higher chance at offensive rebounds. 3s lead to fast breaks for the other team because the rebound is long.
I mean just thinking of it logically, defenders are typically closer to the rim and offensive players are typically on the perimeter. Long rebounds make it more of a crapshoot.
Shots at the rim have a higher chance of bigs getting the rebound, and usually that's the defense. Shots from 3 create a randomness because of how they bounce around. It's why you see the rebounds spread all over the place for Alabama, not just their bigs.
It's hard to tell if you're serious.
It’s like if someone beats a guy off the dribble and now your center has to contest. He’s out of the picture for a rebound. Making a weak side rebound likely and more probable.
I understand what you are saying, I just disagree. Others crash the boards as well when it’s a close shot, it’s not just that the weakside guy automatically gets it.
Pringle, Dioubate, and Wague are all great offensive rebounders (though the latter 2 are playing sparingly these days).
Here’s the actual data on it.
