How it works
- Rebounding begins with the box out (also called screening out), which establishes a defender's body between an offensive rebounder and the basket, allowing the defender to pursue the loose ball.
- The box out should be done immediately when the shot is released—waiting allows offensive rebounders to position themselves advantageously.
- Proper box out positions the defensive rebounder 1-2 feet closer to the basket than the offensive rebounder, allowing the defender to pursue the rebound.
- An improper box out (too soft, not wide enough, failing to establish position) allows offensive rebounders to shed the box out and access the rebound.
- A long rebound occurs when a missed shot bounces far from the basket (20+ feet away), creating a loose-ball situation that requires quick response.
