But I think it's worth noting that rebounding, especially from guards, can be affected by coaching strategies. In OKC, Billy Donovan wanted to get the ball in Westbrook's hands as soon as possible in transition. The fastest way to do that was to have him rebound the ball. So Westbrook crashed the class while the OKC bigs cleared the way. Quin believes the best way to get the ball down the court is by passing it. So he wants his guys on the perimeter to be ready to receive outlet passes while his bigs crash the glass.
It's amazing how 2 HOFers and Kenny fail to grasp these nuances.
