I'll continue to highlight some of the key points from George Raveling's War on the Boards. The following are preparation points for rebounders in anticipation of a missed shot.
1. Observe how far away from the basket the shot was taken. - 10-15 feet shots rebound short. 20-25 feet shots rebound long.
2. Observe the type of shot taken and the amount of arc on the shot.
3. Observe the angle on the floor from which the shot was taken in relation to the basket. Was it taken from the corner, middle, side or inside of the foul line?
4. Conduct a pre-game check - Are the backboards and rims loose or tight? Does the game ball have the proper amount of air in it?
5. Have a complete knowledge of the shooting abilities of your teammates and your opponents - What moves and shots will opponents utilize? Know when a shooter likes to shoot, from where, types of shots, amount of force and arc behind his shots.
