Newman Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Lakers head coach Phil Jackson knows a thing or two about great rebounding, having coached Dennis Rodman on the Chicago Bulls. In Rodman's three seasons with the team, he won one of his four career rebounding titles, averaging 14.9, 16.0 and 15.0 boards per game in those three years despite measuring just 6-7, 210-pounds. So what's the secret to Love's rebounding success in Jackson's opinion? "He fouls and gets away with it a lot," Jackson said. "He jumps over guys' backs. But he's there, he's pursuing it and he's got a reputation now and [the referees] are giving him some latitude. But you have to give him that for determination and effort." ...However, this time around, the coach applied his critique of Love's fouls to all great rebounders. Jackson said Love isn't alone when he pushes and fouls to get a better chance at controlling the boards. "Dennis [Rodman] was great at that [too]," Jackson said. "He used to have a spin move that was a really good move, but he fouled. They all do."Source Good 'ol Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
