An interesting article about a trend toward fewer offensive rebounds:

Does anyone know WSU %. I have seen it, but I am on my mobile and the Stat bookmark is on my laptop at home. I thought it was mid to high 30s. But like most of the guys on here I am an old guy who has lost more gray matter than I have left, and probably am not remembering correctly. -
The best way to avoid offensive rebounds is to make your shots. That way you don't have to worry about intent or strategy, and you score a ton of points besides.Comment

In one of the links in the article he had this to say about the MVC and Gregg Marshall.
. Sometimes we fight wars that only we know about against enemies only we can see
Last season nine of the ten teams in the Missouri Valley Conference averaged between 62 and 65 possessions per 40 minutes in conference play. The tenth team, Southern Illinois, averaged 61. This striking unanimity in speed marks the Valley as one of the slowest conferences in the nation, not to mention one of D-I’s most statistically homogeneous leagues in terms of pace.
Nevertheless, this season a sizable minority of the programs in the Valley will again predicate their marked aversion to offensive rebounding on what is always held to be an imminent threat of transition points from the opponent. These teams will again busy themselves building Maginot Lines for fast-break invasions that most likely wouldn’t have materialized in any event. Hyper-cautious offensive-to-defensive rebound ratios not only reinforce the Valley’s deliberate pace of play, they also look rather superfluous amidst it.
Meanwhile Gregg Marshall still refuses to get with this program and in fact has taken pretty much the exact opposite approach.

What a kook. Doesn’t Marshall realize his transition D’s about to be exposed?Comment
