Why is Rebounding SO Important?
Most coaches know that rebounding is pretty important, but unless you really stop to think about it, you probably don't realize how incredibly important rebounding truly is!Simply put, great rebounding wins games! There is a direct correlation between rebounding and winning.
Take a moment to consider these 5 profound impacts that excellent rebounding will have on your team:
- Excellent rebounding will give your team more chances to score and give your opponent fewer chances to score. Just one offensive rebound could literally give your team as much as a 6 point swing!
This is because you get an extra shot (could be up to 3 points) and
you take one opportunity away from your opponent (could be up to 3
points). That's a 6 point swing in your favor.
Bottom line, good rebounding teams usually get more possessions than their opponents. Which means you have more opportunities to score, while your opponents have less.
- Excellent rebounding will improve your team's
shooting percentage. Many times, offensive rebounds are put-backs from
close in. These are high percentage shots that usually go in. Plus, a
defensive rebound ending in a good outlet pass can allow for a
fast break score before the opposing team can even set up their defense.
Many times, these are easy high percentage shots.
Every great play often starts with a REBOUND. If you're good at rebounding, your team's shooting percentage will go up.
- Excellent rebounding will lower your opponents
shooting percentage. By cleaning up the boards, you stop the other team
from getting out and running consistently. You also take away easy put
backs on the offensive end.
- Excellent rebounding will get you to the free
throw line more often and can get your opponent in foul trouble. How
many times do you see a fouling situation occur on an offensive rebound
put back?
- Excellent rebounding usually means your team has
more heart -- and better defense. If your team has more heart, then it
is probably going to spill over to the defensive end of the court.
Of all the uncertainties that exist in the game of basketball, there is one thing that you can always be sure of; no matter how talented of a player you are, or how great your coaching is SHOTS WILL BE MISSED.

WARNING for Youth Coaches
We do NOT think winning is important at the youth level. And youth coaches should not spend a large amount of time on rebounding (especially the younger kids). Your time is limited and we believe you should work on more important things like shooting skills, passing, ballhandling, footwork, motion offense concepts, man to man defense, and other player development fundamentals.
As kids get older, rebounding can be emphasized. This eBook is intended for competitive middle school, high school, and college coaches.
It's great if you want to pick up the books and learn from them, but we don't suggest you apply all of the techniques. It would be counter productive for youth teams. If you have any questions, let us know. We're here to help.
