What it is
- Long rebounds (rebounds off three-point shots) have different bounce patterns than shorter-distance misses.
How it works
- A three-point miss that hits the back of the rim tends to bounce long and to the opposite side of the court from where it was shot.
- A three-point miss that hits the front of the rim bounces shorter.
- Understanding these tendencies helps rebounders position themselves.
- Offensive rebounders learn to pursue long rebounds toward the weak side; defensive rebounders learn to expect weak-side rebounds and position accordingly.
- Some teams have statistics on where their own shot misses typically rebound, allowing them to position players more optimally.
