41:17 Digging Deeper Into Transition Numbers
The Slappin’ Glass crew dives deep into one of the most debated areas in basketball right now: offensive rebounding and its relationship to transition defense.
Dan, Pat, and Eric discuss the evolution of Tagging Up, why some teams are moving toward simply crashing four or five players, and whether a hybrid approach can create the best of both worlds.
The conversation explores the teaching details that make Tagging Up work, the potential value of a “one-second press” after the rebound, how shot quality impacts rebounding organization, and when players should be given freedom to leave a tag and attack the glass.
The crew then digs into Division I tracking data to examine what happens when teams send two, three, four, or five players to the offensive glass—and whether the biggest offensive-rebounding jump may actually come from getting a third player involved rather than sending everyone.
