I didn't check the stats but I have to assume we don't rank very well in terms of defensive rebounding percentage. Even if it is by design that we rank so low nationwide in terms of offensive rebounding that doesn't explain the defensive rebounding problems. Let's face it, we just don't have the mindset of effectively rebounding missed shots. We rank 345th in offensive rebounding and 340th in defensive rebounding. I don't care how good our assist rate is. We will NEVER be a good team if we rank in the bottom 15 in both of these categories. I did not check the bottom 15, but I did check the bottom 10 in each category figuring that would give us a good read on how those teams stand overall Worst Offensive Rebounders
Rank in OR=Team= Overall KenPom Rank 353= Wyoming= 318 352= Evansville= 223 351= Richmond= 197 350=Cornell= 236 349= Weber State= 208 348= Loyola-Chi= 126 347= Binghamton=332 346= Portland= 323 345= Holy Cross= 245 344= So Dakota= 217 2 Teams in the top 200 and median of #230
Worst at Preventing Opponents Offensive Rebounds
Rank= Team= Overall KenPom Rank 353= UNC Asheville= 346 352= Detroit= 241 351= Duquesne= 164 350= Morgan State= 331 349= Eastern Mich= 153 348= Northwestern St= 337 347=Marshall= 179 346= Savannah State= 340 345= NC A & T= 307 344= Chicago State= 351 3 Teams in the Top 200 and median of #319
Pretty grim......

Is American really that much better or do they have that much more talent on their roster that we should be losing this game at home by 20 points on senior day? Perhaps those who were at the Hart would speak differently, but watching on TV it honestly looked like the team couldn't wait for the game to end. Very little life. Beginning the season 10-4 and now sitting at 15-16 -- hard to understand it. Bill Carmody should do the right thing and step down after the season concludes. No doubt that this season has been a huge disappointment and the coach has to take the blame for this, but it is bizarre how many times you and the other guy repeatedly write the same thing. I don't think there's anyone east of the Mississippi who doesn't know how you feel so there is no need to keep saying it ad nauseum. Will assume you feel the same way about those who repeat "lack of talent" on this team crap.

We are the worst rebounding team in America because it is the coach's strategy to not try for rebounds. If Carmody's strategy is to not go after defensive rebounds, then that is grounds for a new coach alone. Porter Moser has the best defensive rebounding team in the country, but Loyola ranks near the bottom on the offensive glass -- this is a strategy. Carmody not caring about offensive or defensive rebounding isn't a strategy in my mind, it's pure arrogance that he believes he will out-offense and out-shoot the opposition. Did Carmody foreclose on your mortgage? Or run over your family dog?

Carmody was in charge of watching this program grow. After 4 years, I wouldnt let him watch my grandkids on TV.
