Rebounding

Did you know:

IN the past 5 seasons there is not a positive correlation between the number of offensive rebounds and the number of defensive rebounds a team makes?

Meaning: A team that makes a lot more offense rebounds than average is not more likely to make more defensive rebounds than average than one that only makes fewer offensive rebounds than average.

IN fact: In both 2005-06 and 2004-05 there was a serious trend in the other direction. Making more offensive rebounds predicted that your team was going to make fewer defensive ones (and vice-versa)

Again counterintuitive...

In light of this, what does it mean to be a solid rebounding team?
