Wrong again, a basketball is much lighter than the basket and its supports, so when long shots arrive at the basket with greater velocity (when shot in a normal way, w/o extreme arch), they do, on the average, cause longer rebounds.

Cannot buy a basket right now… UConn's defense is a big reason why things are going the way they are. UConn is determined to stop the offensive rebound so they keep two guys close to the basket who immediately wheel around to box out. Those guys also prevent back cuts which is why we haven't been passing to cutters.
I was hoping that the trend of taking the ball to the basket with far less reliance on threes would continue, but let's give UCONN some credit. They have extremely athletic wings and we have one (Andrej).
steveinspringfield S I don’t think Boswell could make a basket if you put him on a ladder under the basket #550
They're getting sloppy...put the ball in the basket and pull away FFS
And they don’t call that when you’re 35 feet from the basket and not gaining an advantage by doing it I love how people on here will find a way to argue about anything.
