Rebound

Gather in and gain control of a missed shot; a missed shot that is retrieved.

Whenever a shot is missed, the player that retrieves the ball is credited with a rebound. Rebounds are divided into two categories – offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds.

An offensive rebound happens when the player that recovers the missed shot is on the same team as the player that shot the ball. This keeps the possession alive for the team to attempt another shot.

A defensive rebound happens with the player that recovers the missed shot is on the opposing team as the player that shot the ball.
