Is it a lost part of the game? Never was a thing? But in this era of three point shots, it seems like there are maybe 4 offensive rebounds just waiting to be had. The guy shooting the ball is the first person to know if the shot is off line, but I never see a player chase down his miss. In particular, the three point shot lends itself to long rebounds. If I'm shooting a three and I know it's off, I'd have a big advantage over the other team. But it seems that players shoot and stand there, not playing the shot all the way through. Or maybe this is how they're coached, to not track the ball so your defender doesn't leak out for a fast break. It's not just Iowa, but universal. Not to pick on him, but by way of example, in the first half, Dix shot a wing three, stood there watching it, while the ball caromed short off the rim and right back at him. If he had taken two steps toward the ball right after he shot it, I believe he would have gotten it, with forward momentum towards the basket. Instead, it was change of possession to Maryland.
