I've thought a lot about this one. There are obviously other factors that bear..
...generally speaking good shooting teams will miss fewer shots and thus have less opportunity to get an offensive rebound. I think it really depends on the team you're playing. If you are playing a team who doesn't look to push tempo and takes fewer shots but shoots the ball really well and plays great team defense thereby limiting your number of shots then you'd want to capture every offensive opportunity you can including offensive rebounds because getting more shots against a team like that will help your team. Also, if you have the athleticism or size to be a good offensive rebounding team (or a size advantage over a particular opponent) then getting offensive rebounds will slow down a transition offense by limiting their opportunities.

If you're playing a team like UTA who blew us out by upping the tempo we might need to recognize that some teams are going to outpace us and we might want to game plan differently for them.
