Say a team shoots it and it goes off the rim and outa bounds. Well that's a dead ball rebound for the other team .

1. A miss on the first foul shot of a two-shot foul, or the first two shots of a three-shot foul. In this case, the offensive team gets credited with a dead-ball rebound, since it gets the ball back. “It’s just an accountant’s correction,” Kirschner explained.

2. A player shoots the ball and it bounces up and hits the shot clock. That’s a dead-ball rebound to the defense.

3. A player shoots the ball, it bounces off the rim, and the buzzer for the half or game sounds before either team controls the ball. Dead-ball rebound.

Thanks! I've wondered how they scored things like that before. Now I know.

Deadball rebounds exist so that the number of missed shots/FTs equals the number of rebounds.

This is the Grantland feature that Jackson quoted.
