Offensive Free Throw Rebounding
Obviously the offense will be in a disadvantage because the defensive have two of the closest spot to the board. Your best chance of grabbing from the rebound will be tapping the ball away from the board, where your teammates will outnumber theirs.
Don't rebound too aggressively and forget about the defense. Treat offensive free throw rebound as a bonus possession. Rebound only if the defense are sloppy in retrieving the rebound.
Moving Productively and Actively Around The Defense
As a player moves toward and around an opponent (the defense rebounder who is boxing out), the player should consider the most effective way to circle while still maintaining high speed. The fastest way to go around the opponent is by leaning leaning towards him as close as possible with the nearest shoulder. Also, the near foot should step around the defense in an attempt to position the toe in the direction the player plans to go. Once the near shoulder clears the defense, the player should move the arms aggressively to help provide balance as well as boxing out the defense.
Cutting on the inside leg does present risk because of the greater muscular force required to control the higher degree of angular acceleration. If the muscles are weak, injury potential may be greater while cutting on the inside leg. Practicing the technique in slowly increased speed intervals, along with constructive strengthening exercise, will enhance the ability of the muscle to perform over time.
What happens after an offensive rebound?
A pump fake works well after an offensive rebound. The defense is already off balance having been beaten the rebound, and the defenders are mentally discouraged. There a good chance they swipe at the first hint of a shot.
Alternately, depending on the situation, you can always pass it back and reinitiate the offense to chip away at the clock should your team has the upper hand.
