Why it works
Rebounding is timing plus two-hand toughness. The nugget: the player who times the jump and grabs with two hands gets the ball, even over taller players. Tossing the ball high lets a young player practice the jump-and-grab rhythm safely. In a game, the rebounder who chins the ball immediately doesn't get stripped — which is why this habit turns a rebound into a possession, not a turnover.
