[QUOTE="Niastri, post: 125638, member: 722"]
Fair hasn't ever rebounded well for us.  Like half our team, he only gets offensive rebounds.  I don't know if it is effort/training/scheme/talent that causes effective defensive rebounding, but our kids don't have it. Talent and effort are out.  Scheme and training are the problems that cause us to fail to win our own defensive boards.

However, those same schemes and training allow us to win the offensive boards year after year.  CJ Fair gets yelled at every day for failing to retrieve his share of defensive boards.  YET, he still stays on the court when he slips in and gets a couple of those o boards.

If they shoot worse, and turn over more, we win.  JB has this as an absolute choice.  He wants our big kids to kill the other guy to get a rebound, and lets them know... However, every time a shot goes up, our guards are running to the other court to get their layups.  Wisconsin (and such schools) win every rebounding battle...  They do nothing but rebound, not even score.  JB would rather get offfensive rebounds, runouts, steals, and limit shooting % than act like the rebounds are all that matter.
