Do you get credit for a rebound if you catch an airball?

If you tap the ball up towards the rim on a missed shot, is that a rebound and a shot attempt or just a shot attempt?
 
If you catch an air ball it is a rebound
If you block a shot and grab it is a block and a rebound

If you tap a ball and it goes in, it is a rebound and a shot attempt. If the ball is tapped and it doesn't go in the official scorer must decide if it was a "controlled tap" then the player would get a rebound and shot attempt. Else it is just loose ball "action".

This sounds like someone that knows what they are talking about and is presenting facts. I'm not sure how to react to that.

Thanks though.
 
If u run out of bounds and jump in with 1 foot, and teammate passes u the ball, is that a legal play?
 
If a ball is shot by the opponent, it is on its way down, has no chance of hitting rim or backboard, and u as a defender go up and catch it above the rim, is that goal tending?

Not exactly sure what you are asking but if you are in the air, you are legally at the place your feet were when we left the floor. It was one of the calls they missed in 2015 against Wisconsin. A Wisconsin guy was out of bounds and jumped back in to save a loose ball and "saved" it. He should have been considered out of bounds because he had not "reestablished" by having both feet back inbounds.

As a longtime Rafters reader, I know exactly how to react. Call the villagers and have them each bring a flaming torch to the town square.

Actually, since there was no discernible political content in the post, bring two torches!
 
If not, do you get a steal?
Former statistician as part of my former job in college athletics…It's statistically impossible for there to be a missed shot that’s not credited with a rebound.

Every missed shot must end in an individual rebound, team rebound, or deadball rebound.

Team rebound would be something like if a shot goes out of bounds. No individual gets credited a rebound, but the team receiving the ball gets the rebound.

Deadball rebound is not often, after the first shot of a two shot foul, if a ball goes over the backboard, heaves at the end of a half when the clock expires, etc. Basically, any rebound that results in a deadball (other than the team rebound situation I explained in the paragraph before).

Two other situations, if two players grab the rebound and it results in a jump ball, the individual on the team that wins the jump ball gets credited the rebound.

And if a player makes a controlled tap back out to the perimeter to keep the ball alive, if his team grabs the ball, the player tapping the ball is supposed to get the board. Unofficially called the Tyson Chandler rebound.

Both. But a shot should only be credited if it’s a “controlled” attempt. If you’re just wildly tapping the ball hoping for a miracle it’s not a shot.

I've been told by a hs referee that u need only have 1 foot in bounds.
 
I once played a pick up game with Magic Johnson on my team. I had 25 assists. But, he insisted that he had 25 offensive rebounds!
