Rebound Percentages on Free Throws?

Hey all, I'm doing some work on rebounding right now, and can't seem to locate data that breaks down the Rebounding Rate on Free Throw's. Team-by-team data would be nice, but a league average would also work.

For instance, are missed Free-Throws Rebounded by the Offense 15% of the time? 10%? Less? Any info would be appreciated.

Try http://nbawowy.com, I'm pretty sure it has rebounding numbers for free throws in the team section.

Be careful about the two percentages -- % of all missed FT rebounded by offense; and % of all reboundable missed FT that are OReb.
First of 2FTA are not reboundable.

PD123,

Thanks, I didn't know WOWY had that data.

Mike G,

Good advice! I think I'm doing it correctly, using each team's FT% and the .44 multiplier to arrive at the FT misses that were "reboundable".

If you want an interesting research question, you can look at how the shooter's free-throw percentage affects the offensive rebound rate after a miss.
