Why can't this team rebound????

[The_Answer1313]

I think I know, but how are those % computed ?? Is it REBS/FGA or missed FGA ??

% of missed shots.

So like Florida i believe is a top offensive rebounding team. They rebound about 41% of their misses.

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Also help defense is non existent. If our man gets blown by its a clear path to the rim

 

[cathouse]

NO ❤️

I just heard that TAM is the #1 rebounding team in the country … fwiw

 

[The_Answer1313]

Yep. Looks like they are #1.

UF has slid to 4th.

But you know that's the thing. We allowed them to rebound 42% of their misses and we all sat here and thought that was horrendous.

UT.......the 3rd ranked team on defense in the nation. The team that only allows opponents to rebound 28% of their misses on average, let UF rebound...........43% of their misses.

It just makes me think offenses have more control over that stat then defenses and the large part of the issue vs UF wasn't our poor rebounding but their good rebounding.

This team doesn't like contact and gets pushed around. They actually back down.

 

[katwest]

Teams that shoot a lot of threes do have trouble rebounding the ball, balls either go in or bounce back into the offenses hands. That’s some of the problem but we aren’t going after them very hard either. The team knows what they need to do, we will see if they get the message against Mississippi State.

 

[fatguy87]

OR% is often calculated by dividing the total offensive rebounds by a team by the sum of their offensive rebounds and the opponents defensive rebounds.

Team A had 10 offensive rebounds
Team B had 20 defensive rebounds

Offensive rebound % for team A=10/(20+10)

 

[rivercatinfl]

Moses Malone, Robert Parrish, Karl Malone and Wes Unseld couldn’t jump over a phone book. Rodman and Jerry Lucas were relentless. It’s about desire and effort, not jumping ability.

I've read some comments here about getting Noah some minutes from Jackson. Love your comments about desire and effort. I think you'd get that in spades with Noah. I just don't know if he has a feel for the college game yet. But he is a tough kid and we would get hard nose play from him. I'm sure Pope knows what he's doing with Noah but I would like to see what he could do in these games where Jackson vanishes

 

[Eagles_Ball]

As we well know it's all about effort. Ask Charles Barkley or Dennis Rodman.

Those two dudes, while not “big” by NBA standards were extremely athletic and powerful. They both played their balls off too, granted. But let’s not pretend they merely got it done on effort.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Need Brea and Robinson at 6 6 to help gang rebound. Get in there and battle!

Brea tries. Robinson not at all. He’s soft AF.

 

[JonathanW]

Can we just try and play more zone? Would probably solve a lot of our issues.

Zone often hurts rebounding because you don’t have a specific guy to block out.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Zone often hurts rebounding because you don’t have a specific guy to block out.

Correct. I'm convinced that's why Cal never played zone. Much harder to rebound from. This team isn't going to rebound well until they lose the soft identity, and I'm not sure they're capable of that.

 

[kywildcats8]

They aren't small
They aren't totally non-athletic
They aren't young
They aren't un-coachable

So what seems to be the problem???
My middle school coach taught us how to put a BUTT on someone when the ball goes up and then go after the ball. Why is that SOOOO difficult for this team to do????
You don't have to be big and strong to block out, so why are our kids that have played for MANY years so bad at it???

no effort and apparently we do not want to rebound as much as other teams we play

[The_Answer1313]

We are 158th in offensive rebounding %
We are 67th in defensive rebounding %

While not super great, I think it's getting a bit overblown IMO

Schedule for 2024-25

 

[maysvilleky]

I’d bring in Oscar to practice against them and let him wear them out until they can see how he gets it done!

 

[BlueSince92]

rebounding is mostly effort, too many are too anxious to leak out for a dunk or 3 point shot
Williams & Robinson just won't put out the effort

The leaking out thing is so blatant and so frequent that I’ve just been assuming it’s coached.

 

[storm1507]

It seems that blocking out is not a priority or desire for our players.

 

[PopesReignOverCardinals]

Osobor would have made a huge difference on the boards for us, but it is it is for this season.

We need to find us a Nikola Vucevic.

 

[westerncat]

You watch Williams and he only rebounds with one hand.
