Offensive rebounding in 5-out open post
« Thread Started on Nov 7, 2009, 8:39am »

I am working on instituting a 5-out open post offense this season. Does anyone have any specific tips for improving offensive rebounding? Any tips on positioning, etc., beyond the obvious?

I have a set of four techniques which I teach my players to avoid contact which can be a block out or avoids any screen or to front the post in more traditional defense. On the perimeter that would be 1&2)Step over (rt or lt), 3&4) Step one way and spin the other(rt or lt). If you are defending Five Out Offense or just blocking out on the perimeter, I do not teach players to spin until contact is initiated ... we half turn and place a forearm on the chest of our opponent then if they "bull rush" to the forearm side "we ride them out" or if they "Bull rush" to the side opposite the forearm we complete our spin and "butt them out". I hope that this is helpful. Please post or PM if I need to clarify this further.

Working on getting guys to the rim on all shots needs to be emphasized in practice. For us, its always "four on the rim, one back" every shot in every practice, if not, we run

I completely agree but IMO they need techniques to beat better athletes. Once these techniques are drilled, I take the same approach that you do coachkd.

Dr.D, I agree with you too, but I believe at least 75% of the time offensive rebounding is more effort and drilled rather than technique...for the other 25%, you are absolutely correct.

I hope that we can just agree to disagree on that. IME I find players are more willing to crash if you show them a reasonable chance of success but I understand that your point is that effort is a part of the equation.

I would agree to disagree, getting players "willing" to crash is more of a mindset, IMO.

I think it's more of a mindset than anything, but there are some techniques that go with it to help.

I like the idea of eliminating contact with the defensive rebounder. If you can get around the defensive rebounder you are going to have success. I also like the idea of using the swim and step move to get around the defensive player. I also tell my inside guys that if you can't get in front, simply do what Grinnell colllege does and get "outside position" by moving them under the basket. This can be very effective against players who have established contact and position, just have to get low.

Hope this helps,

John Carrier
