What it is
- However, tipping is an advanced skill that allows a rebounder who is in a difficult position to still impact the rebound.
- A secure is when the rebounder grabs the ball and brings it into their body.
- Securing is generally preferred because it ends the scramble and gives a team clear possession.
Why it matters
- Tipping is valuable when: (1) you can't get two hands on the ball, (2) a teammate has better positioning to secure the tipped ball, (3) the tip creates an easy secondary possession (tipping to a cutter, for example).
- Securing is generally preferred because it ends the scramble and gives a team clear possession.
How it works

- However, tipping is an advanced skill that allows a rebounder who is in a difficult position to still impact the rebound.
