Nachtmahr, I have long followed what you say about shot blocking. But one thing here has me puzzled:
Thanks to SB I don't need a lot of RB. My best guy has RB 9 and my team still manages to end up at second place for rebounds.
Isn't every blocked shot still rebounded? Blocks don't reduce the # of rebounds. For every shot your opponent misses, there is 1.00 rebounds. For every shot your opponent has blocked there is 1.00 rebounds. 1.00 = 1.00

Thanks.

I think he means his SB lowers opponent shot %, making more chances to defense rebound ...
I would like to hear Nachtmahr's thinking, but the point you make, that opponent's shot % is even lower when there are a lot of blocked shots would argue that rebounding was more important, not less.

The thinking is if you can just keep blocking until you get the rebound. If the opponent has 10 extra possesions because of rebounds advantage but you block/alter 15 extra shots you have 5 FGM less against you.

It's easy to say higher rebounding is better, of course it is but to have higher SB you need to compromise somewhere. It's always the question wether it's worth to give up X to get more Y, and in Nachtmar's case it is. You can make another case in which you sacrifice a bit of IS for the higher SB and keep RB the same, because if your bigs have high PA you still have a decent flow, or you could sac some ID, or a little bit of 2/3 skills.

I think some blocked shots end up out of bounds - but I am not sure, as I don't follow the games due to technical issues (no flash)

Yes, that's it. I'm sacraficing RB because I know that my players are superior in defense. I have the second worst OR team, but the best defense RB team. They just keep blocking and altering shots until one of them gets the RB.
Because of this I have less FG attempts, so I have to optimize my offense. And for that I use PA.
This season I had less FG attempts than my opponent in every game. The result is 532:597 attempts. But I made 558 pts and got only 424. That's 1.05 pts/FG attempt vs. 0.71 pts/FG attempt. So as long as my team can hold the others to a certain low scoring, there are no problems with sacraficing RB. I just have to use the other skills ;)

IF i agree with all your thinking then I would just copy your team and then its a cookie cutter and that is boring.


Div III cookie cutter nonetheless. It's debateable if that concept is worth to be copied.
