whittier college men's basketball drew menez nathaniel easternman SCIAC berth

“Make sure you rebound!” Poet Head Coach Rock Carter repeatedly said, as his players ran through practice. The team has been running full court drills, simulating rebounds and quick transitions.

For a team that just clinched a berth in the SCIAC playoffs, it is one of the few things that the Poets need to work on.

“I think that our system and the way that we space the floor is not set up for us to have high rebounding numbers,” Carter said. “That being said, it is a team mentality, an attitude that the guys need to have. Converging on rebounds quickly and as a team is how we make up for our system; we can’t only rely on athleticism.”
