Hmmm... not at all what I heard (at a different meeting, obviously).

JR - What? We disagree? I am sure the board is suprised! I will say that "under the chin" should maybe read "in the neighborhood of the chin". Also, further clarification may be needed on when the 'elbows go out" Granted, MOST rebounds have a player extending their arms over their heads to grab the rebound. It is then that they secure it, which is where the rub comes. This is somthing that got rather heated when discussed, especially with the coaches. Their concern, and a valid one, is how are they supposed to teach a rebounder to protect the ball? Most coaches, around here, and at least a few schools in the midwest, teach the method I described. Eventually, the key became how fast were the elbows moving. If they are swinging them, then we F or I.
BJ - What did you hear? Enquiring minds want to know!
