additionally I have experienced some players grab more offensive boards then others in my team, tmie and time again. So maybe it's a hidden skill, or might have to do with aggresiveness (which is known to be a hidden skill).
Rebounding skill of the direct defender alos might be of impact, if the defender has very weak rebounding and your guy is strong, chances are higher he'll snatch the ball.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
