That's right. That's because rebounding is an attitude mixed with fundamentals. Two things we've played with very little of the past few years. Most, if not all of the teams in our league are in the same situation. Most teams are what you might consider undersized so a lack of height is no reason to not rebound the ball. That is why I believe you will quickly see a difference in Marlin's brand of ball and what we saw before. I think that Lee assumed that you should have a fundamental base at this level of play while Marlin will make sure that you have a base before moving to other aspects of play.
