Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle wants to see his team put forth a better effort on the glass this year, especially after losing center Tyson Chandler in free agency.
The Mavericks finished 29th in the league in defensive rebounding percentage last season, and Carlisle told Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com how he wants to fix that issue:
“We’ve got to get some monsters that push and shove, throw people out of the way and go get the ball,” Carlisle confessed when addressing the rebounding concerns last season. “We’ve got to get more of those guys. We’ve got to block out and we’ve got to have five guys going (for the rebound) all the time. And when it matters, we’ve got to get the rebounds.”
