[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1975229, member: 4069"] Full disclosure, not a strong mind in any measure, but very generally, you can tell your guys to rebound, or tell them to get back on defense, but they can't be in two places at once, so there's a trade-off of how you want to go about this. The more you emphasize getting back on defense, the less you'll contest rebounds. There's obviously a lot of nuance in how that works, but I think part of our lower rebounding can be explained by how we wanted to prioritize transition defense. It's jaw-dropping how well they cut off easy buckets. But OTOH, we're usually much stronger rebounding. Can't argue with the result --looks like we picked the right poison to find the antidote for. All that said, I thought FAU did a great job getting to the ball and getting around box outs. They had a lot of long rebounds that gave them a chance to contest rebounds we would normally get, and they fought all the way to the end. [/QUOTE]
