Why it works
The offensive rebound put-back is one of the highest-percentage plays in basketball. The nugget: most young kids watch the shot and don't move — the kid who goes to the rim with high hands every time gets easy baskets no one else does. Training the catch-and-go-right-back-up habit turns a missed shot into a second-chance point, which is how scrappy players score without being the best shooter on the team.
