...and I'm not talking about that guy you woke up next to the day after you got dumped. Rebounding is a major part of basketball. People at games are always yelling "get the board" which I found out means get the rebound. So the board is the backboard of the basketball hoop. Here is one of my typical girl mistakes at a recent Golden State Warriors game. I started yelling about getting the board every time my team took a shot. Getting the defensive board should happen every time and if it not its not something to yell about. But getting the offensive rebound is not necessary each time. When the Warriors shoot, it is more important for them to get back on defense than it is for the players to get the offensive rebound. They need to run their expensive bodies back to defense! But, if the other team is shooting and the Warriors do not get the defensive rebound, the other team could have a second chance at scoring. I learned to only yell about rebounding and "the board" when the Warriors are on defense.
