[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 131197482, member: 1488840"] Thank you. A much better post on your behalf. I'll try to respond accordingly. A lot of what you wrote above is true. We have always been great rebounding teams under Huggins. He does teach it and recruit for it. I think we all want us to be a great DEFENSIVE rebounding team, but I'd much rather be better on the defensive boards than the offensive - they aren't mutually exclusive. But to say that for US it isn't a side-effect from poor shooting isn't anywhere near correct. For evidence, I'll post where we have ranked statistically under Huggins shooting-wise. [LIST] [*]19-20 (353) - 2p% (230) | 3p% (312) | FT% (331) [*]'18-19 (353) - 2p% (287) | 3p% (309) | FT% (245) [*]'17-18 (351) - 2p% (237) | 3p% (156) | FT% (25) [*]'16-17 (351) - 2p% (164) | 3p% (116) | FT% (236) [*]'15-16 (351) - 2p% (128) | 3p% (274) | FT% (274) [*]'14-15 (351) - 2p% (289) | 3p% (291) | FT% (277) [*]'13-14 (351) - 2p% (259) | 3p% (44) | FT% (96) [*]'12-13 (347) - 2p% (290) | 3p% (273) | FT% (177) [*]'11-12 (344) - 2p% (105) | 3p% (322) | FT% (243) [*]'10-11 (345) - 2p% (199) | 3p% (201) | FT% (105) [*]'09-10 (347) - 2p% (170) | 3p% (193) | FT% (120) [*]'08-09 (344) - 2p% (181) | 3p% (231) | FT% (140) [*]'07-08 (341) - 2p% (99) | 3p% (152) | FT% (170 [/LIST] Now, can you really say, after looking at the stats above and where we rank, with regards to every single D-1 school, that leading in offensive rebounding isn't a by-product of poor shooting and is a GOOD trait? Sure, everybody misses, the best teams usually less than everyone else, the best teams at around the 40% mark or better. After 12 years, and multiple players come and gone, we can't get out of the doldrums and into the better half? That's too much to ask?
