a quick question

[pookenstein]

Last night there was a sequence where Tiago was batteling for a rebound against a Rocketplayer and the situation ended up with the Refs calling a Jumpball.

My question: who gets credit for the rebound? Nobody? Is it counted as a Teamrebound? Or does the player winning the Jumpball get it?

From Yahoo answers...so take it as you will.



If two opponents grab a rebound, its a jump ball. Whoever wins the jump ball will get credit for the rebound.

[Man In Black]

No...that sounds wrong.

Because, it's now no longer a rebound situation.

It's just a jump ball. A rebound cannot be given to 2 players simultaneously.
If 2 Spurs come down with the ball, they'll only give credit to one.

If 2 Spurs tip in a missed shot at the rim, they'll give a rebound and points to the same player.

Team rebounds occur when people battle for a rebound and then it goes out of bounds and gives possession to the other team. IE if Scola and Blair were battling for a rebound and Scola knocks it out, that's a possession change. Team rebound stat goes to the SPURS.

OK, but there has to be a rebound stat on every missed shot, right? Either it's an individual rebound or a team rebound. So if it's a jump ball on a rebound, it makes sense that the winner of the jump ball gets the rebound. Who else would you give it to?

[pookenstein]

Yes, it kind of makes sense, but I'm with MIB. It just sounds wrong.

Yeah, if two opposing players grab a rebound and it results in a jumpball, the player who wins the jump ball gets credit for the rebound.

And that's how it was credited last night:

10:47 Kevin Martin misses 24-foot three point jumper 29-25
10:45 Jumpball: Jordan Hill vs. Tiago Splitter (Kevin Martin gains possession) 29-25
10:45 Jordan Hill offensive rebound 29-25
10:27 Kevin Martin misses 24-foot three point jumper 29-25

Hill won the jumpball so he got credit for the rebound.

A lot of things sound wrong that are true in reality.

The correct question is: who else would you give it to? You've gotta give it to somebody, or to the team.

That's why I was asking.

TY for clearing this up.
