Rebounds are also given to a player who tips in a missed shot on his team's offensive end . Rebounds in basketball are a routine part in the game, as most possessions change after a shot is successfully made, or the rebound allows the defensive team to take possession . A rebound can be grabbed by either an offensive player or a defensive player . </P> <P> Rebounds are divided into two main categories: "offensive rebounds", in which the ball is recovered by the offensive side and does not change possession, and "defensive rebounds", in which the defending team gains possession . The majority of rebounds are defensive because the team on defense tends to be in better position (i.e., closer to the basket) to recover missed shots . Offensive rebounds give the offensive team another opportunity to score whether right away or by resetting the offense . A block is not considered a rebound . </P>
