Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 2201721"] Yes, rebounding has always sucked with the zone. I wasn't saying it had to be crazy good. I was saying when we have better rebounding teams than typical, or at least a Center who can board and legitimate forwards next to him, it helps our transition game as much as causing turnovers, which is absolutely true based on the stats. The idea that a team has to cause turnovers at a high rate to have a good transition offense is simply not true. It helps, perhaps equally as much as good defensive rebounding helps, but it's not the primary factor. Unlike m2m, the zone puts all of the defenders in consistently good position to run a fastbreak when the team doesn't have to commit the guards to rebound. This is why the zone can give up a few extra boards and be fine. There's a big difference between being a good rebounding team out of the zone vs. being a good rebounding team overall. I was speaking about having a good zone rebounding team. [/QUOTE]
