Rebouding Skills

[no-look]

Are they taught as much today in high school basketball as in the past?

[Riding Solo]

No, the simple fundamentals are not taught anymore.

Like blocking out.

Depends on where you are...Is it taught at Nederland? I would BET that it is...Is it taught ANYWHERE in BISD these days? I would BET that it is NOT.... :(.....WAS it taught before in Beaumont....You better know it!  ;).... You cannot depend on athletic ability to get it done on the boards...Its an essential skill for program success.

Most bigs I see now won't jump for a rebound. All they want to do is reach up for rebound.

[vcbasketball15]

i graduated in 2007, and throughout all 4 years of basketball it was always hard pressed into our heads non stop during practice for about the first 2 weeks. it was never really absorbed though...about 80% of our games we were out rebounded....

[Honest Abe]

I can guarantee coach English coaches it. Earlier in the year, Ned was not a good rebounding TEAM. A big reason WB beat Ned was bc of not blocking out properly. Since then, Ned has done a great job and controlling the boards. Like Dickie V said, depends on where you are coached.

yOU YOUNGSTERS kill me! Back in my day :D we played at the city parks and if you lost you may not get next up for awhile. IF you didn't block out, hustle, or play defense, you would not get picked up and your  teammates or any other team. But *you youngsters* know nothing about learning skill sets at the park playing 3v3 or 4v4, sad :'(

[/quote]That too! Plus some parks just aren't safe to be in sometimes.
