not boxing on on Fts....just NOW listening to post game

[tjreese]

Around 5 minutes Matt talks about points given up by NOT boxing out on Fts...so simple and yet players at this level still forget?

I felt the offensive rebounds were more caused by the FTs being complete bricks than people being out of position. Sometimes if a shot is terrible enough, being in “good” position is actually a disadvantage.

true ..long boards are not as forgiving...but forgiving is the qualifying word. You make body contact and seal on the lane and any close board (and they were) has to come over your back. I agree with Matt. I had this conversation a couple of years ago. Blocking out is NOT standing in front of someone, but physically getting into that person...

Agree though that long boards make it difficult to rebound in some cases

Back to the same coach that told us to MAUL the BALL on a P&R, also said that Blocking-Out meant to either make the guy behind you double over in pain, or knock the wind out of him, depending on where your butt hit his body.

He also wanted to see multiple tiny cuts on their shooter's eyebrows from our fingernails flicking them in the eyes.

The one I remember the most was Wagner getting his own missed free throw (which did take a big bounce) and dishing to Zavier Simpson for the first of his two killer threes for Michigan to take the lead.....thought it may not have been Purdue's night after that exchange.

I always wanted whether reverse pivoting or cross step depending on proximity to goal I always wanted the forearm in the gut of the player for contact before losing vision. On the FT line a reverse pivot since you shouldn't be chasing a guy. Whatever, it is crucial to make body contact to serve for position and feel for location since you may not see the player. If no contact...he goes around...steps closer and grasps more territory for opportunity. Gotsta have contact!

One of those FT rebounds went right over PJs head, shortly after Nojels big put backs. I think Eastern would have grabbed that one.

I do think to be fair that no longer waiting on the ball to hit the rim helps the offensive side more than the defensive side as another rule to improve the offense.
