Stats Register about "Basketball Rebounds":
...."
"..... A basic generalization in many of the Basketball stats
formulas is how efficiently players use possessions. The object is to get players who
throws better shots, perpetrate few turnovers and catch the highest possible percentage of
rebounds.
We are not just looking for the players who score and rebound the most, but who do so with
the fewest opportunities. The more efficient offensive and defensive possessions a team
has, the more points it will score and the fewer it will allow the other team to score.
Rebounding Statistics: First of all the number of Total Rebounds are of
little value. In addition, since offensive and defensive rebounding requires two entirely
different approaches and skills, coaches must look at offensive and defensive rebounds
performances separately. To really analyze and evaluate the team's defensive rebounding
performances coaches must look at the team's rebounding percentages along with the points
scored on second efforts. These figures are found on the game and season (cumulative) box
score, leaders, team goals, and graphical comparison reports.
The eBA System shows all this data ordered in the "Rebound Pages Analysis" at
his 2nd. Booklet: "The Game Analysis".

Rebounding Percentages: are a relatively simple
additional part of box score stats. For the reason that a teams rebounds totals are
directly referenced to the number and type of missed shots in a game, rebounding totals
are a poor indicator of rebounding success. Generally the teams that have the most
rebounds in a season, are also teams that have a very low field-goal percentage.
It is comprehensible - the more shots you miss, the more opportunities you have to rebound
the ball. The pace a game is played at will also influence the number of rebound
opportunities a team has. A teams rebounding percentage is the percentage of
opportunities (missed shot that can be rebounded) that a team capitalizes on.. ....."
