Rip-Through After Rebound
After securing a board, the player rips the ball aggressively through from one side to the other while pivoting to clear space from a shadowing defender, then goes straight into a put-back or outlet. Trains protecting the ball the instant it's grabbed.
Coaching focus: Rebounding
