Difference between Eisley and most others was I was rebounding his shots out of the net.

Nah, I'm certainly not saying do one at the expense of the other. One of the most appreciated comments a player can hear from an opponent is "good box out". Not enough players pay attention to it and, thereby, never get the kudos and, in the process, give possession back to the offense. Double whammy. All I'm espousing is developing another skill. Embrace it as something to improve upon and then use it. Actually, knowing where the rebound is going, especially long ones, is as valuable, or more valuable, as an offensive rebounding skill than as a defensive one.

If the shot goes up and my man is out past the foul line, I've definitely headed out to box them out and they don't make a single move to rebound anyway -- and the rebound goes right to the spot I've vacated. The biggest challenge for me is the slashing rebounder who comes from a distance, knows where the ball is going, and even v-cuts to get there. We'll call him Carruthers for sake of argument. Those guys I think you just gotta box them out (if you can!) and let your teammates get the ball. Or are you saying you might as well go for the ball and use your headstart to offset your athletic deficiencies? I’ve definitely felt that conflict between boxing out and getting the ball.
