Rebounding out of a zone

[no-look]

Whats the strategy for rebounding when running a zone?.......block out an area, man or just hit the boards?

block out the man in your area....but, use common sense and get to a free man even if it means leaving your area

of course, if you have enough money and technology.....blocking out is a thing of the past....the ball can always just bounce your way

Rebounding is all about angles, and being on the back side too, I think rebounding is one of the easiest things ever.

sometimes the bigs cancel out each other. Guards have to hit the boards also but have to "get back" to avoid a fast break.....whats the strategy there?

Imo rebounding is about intensity. If a team wants the ball worse than their opponent and will block out at least decently they can out hustle for a lot of the rebounds.

I hate seeing guards sitting outside the 3 point line waiting for a break. If someone is snow birding then leave a guard back other than that crash the boards.
