In response to mrjames
I ran through the OReb rates of Penn's opposition and they're bad. That likely has much to do with it. So yes, Penn's DReb rate is inflated.
Observationally, part of Penn's defensive scheme is to suck up defensive rebounds. And while I'm not convinced it's necessarily going to work well against teams that place a greater emphasis on offensive rebounds, the teams in the league all have below average OReb rates so it's possible Penn's defensive rebounding rate will continue to look good.
I do think there's something to Penn's ability to suppress 3 attempts.
On a different note, the personal attacks are a form of intellectual dishonesty. I understand it's popular nowadays but I'd hope this board can be above that.
