Rebounds by Shot Location

[Gettas]

I've just spent the last two hours scouring the net for NBA historic rebounds for a give shot location, and have come up blank. For example, if someone shoots a right corner three, where are the rebounds grabbed. I'm a high school coach and I wanted to show the team where to position for shots.

Can someone direct me to a website or link, or better yet a data set of rebounds segmented by shot location?

Thanks so very much.

This is the only article I know of:

Yeah, that's the only one I found but it seems to suffer from small sample bias.

The search continues...

There may have been larger studies done by teams privately but it is time intensive. In 1-3 years we'll probably hear about some huge study using optical tracking technology. For now, this is probably the best out there to be read.

if you don't want to rely on this study maybe watch some tapes of where Rodman and a few other great rebounders position themselves and trust them. Maybe look position by position, or player type by player type (agile, strong, leaper, etc.) to match your guys (for their level) because guys of different size and type aren't going to necessarily going to produce the same even in the same area.

Might want to read the just out Sloan Conference paper on rebounds.
