[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 531084, member: 4289"] Not placing offensive rebounders on the lane for free throws has been bugging me too. Pastner was asked about it on his call in show this past Monday and he acknowledged that it was a legit question/criticism, but he said that he prioritized getting back on defense over trying for offensive rebounds off missed free throws. He said he preferred to play to our strength as a good/great/elite defensive team. I didn't buy this at first, but I did some googling and came across one claimed stat (for the NBA) that said the offensive rebound rate on missed free throws is only about 10-12%. At that rate, if a team shoots 20 free throws per game at a 70% clip, that would only be a 6 available rebounds (even less actually b/c some would be front end of 2 shots), 10-12% of which would be less than one rebound per game. Considering how dangerous certain teams (e.g. UNC tarholes) are in transition off defensive boards, maybe Pastner's strategy makes sense. What do others think? [/QUOTE]
