How To Play Basketball: Rebounding Responsibility

(Music Playing)

Male 1: The center has several specific rebounding responsibilities. First, he must challenge the shot if this person is taking the shot. Challenge that shot and then immediately turn them block at person at giving him to a nice good powerful stunts so that you can keep this man off the board. Second, he must aggressively go to the basket and grab the ball.

Male 2: A center should average 10 rebounds per game. Just like the power forward. They need to be good at putback on offense. What is a foot back? An offensive mess is it, now think about this if you are a low post center and you are on defense which one is your job. To intimidate the other team, protect the basket. So that same responsibility falls on the shoulder of your opponent. That means one of your teammates drives to the basket, who is going to lead you to help them. Your center, he is covering you when that happens instead of standing there in the blocks with your hands down have your hands ready to be of good passers they are going to deliver the ball and the only other thing that can happen is that their going to push a shot up right there? And there is a 50-50 chance that shot goes in, there is 50-50 chance that it does not go in. When it does not go in you want to be right here or the big guys contesting your two men and typically the ball will come off the other side just do a quick, putback. There is a lot of little drill you can do for putbacks when you are center. You want an average four to five rebounds per game on offense because yours is a guy that is going to leave you got to have more opportunities than a power forward are you?. Power forwards defensively, normally do not leave their feet a lot. They will a little bit if you have your back to the basket you turn to shoot do not come after that. But typically, it is the center that is going to clog the middle for you. When it comes to rebounding specially offense of rebounding you need to get offensive position. You get in front of the defense of player the ball will be there when you arrive I guarantee it. The greatest offensive players in the game always get offensive position. You get position you will get possession. That is the rule for offense and rebounds.
