List of NCAA Division I men's basketball season rebounding leaders
Encyclopedia
In basketball
, a rebound
is the act of gaining possession of the ball after a missed field goal
or free throw
. The National Collegiate Athletic Association
's (NCAA) Division I scoring title is awarded to the player with the highest rebounds per game (rpg) average in a given season. However, from 1956 through 1962, the rebounding leader was determined by the highest individual recoveries out of the total by both teams in all games (meaning the highest percentage of the total possible rebounds determined the winner, not the per game average). The NCAA did not split into its current divisions format until August 1973. From 1906 to 1955, there were no classifications to the NCAA nor its predecessor, the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (IAAUS). Then, from 1956 to 1973, colleges were classified as either "NCAA University Division (Major College)" or "NCAA College Division (Small College)". The NCAA's official men's basketball media guide recognizes rebounding champions beginning with the 1950–51 season.
Charlie Slack
of Marshall
owns the Division I record for a single-season rebounding average (25.6), which he accomplished in 1954–55. The all-time career rebounds record holder—Tom Gola
of La Salle
—never won an NCAA Division I rebounding title despite grabbing 2,201 rebounds. In the official NCAA men's basketball record books, a distinction is drawn between the pre-1973 era and the post-1973 era. One reason is that because of the split into the three Divisions in use today (Divisions I, II and III), many of the rebounds accumulated in the pre-1973 era were against less–talented opponents that would be considered Division II, III or even NAIA
in today's hierarchy. Although the 1972–73 season was before the divisional split, the NCAA officially considers that season to be "post-1973" because of the adoption of freshman eligibility for varsity play in all NCAA sports effective in August 1972. Therefore, Kermit Washington
of American
is the post-1973 Division I single-season rpg record holder. He averaged 20.4 rebounds in 1972–73.
Six players have officially earned multiple rebounding titles: Leroy Wright
, Jerry Lucas
, Artis Gilmore
, Kermit Washington
, Xavier McDaniel
and Paul Millsap
. Of these, only Millsap earned three NCAA Division I rebounding titles, which he accomplished from 2004 to 2006. He also skipped his senior
season to enter the National Basketball Association
(NBA) early, so had he stayed at Louisiana Tech
he may have won the rebounding title a fourth time. There are also five players who won Division I rebounding titles that have been enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame: Elgin Baylor, Artis Gilmore
, Jerry Lucas, Hakeem Olajuwon
and David Robinson
.
Robert Parish
of Centenary
, also a Hall of Famer, had rebounding totals that would have led Division I in two seasons—15.4 per game in 1974–75 and 18.0 in 1975–76. However, due to sanctions related to Parish's recruitment, the NCAA omitted all Centenary games and statistics from its official records starting with his freshman year of 1972–73 and continuing through the 1977–78 season, two years after Parish's graduation.
Two players who have led the NCAA in rebounds were born outside United States territory, and a third was born in a United States insular area
. Hakeem Olajuwon
, the leader in 1983–84, was born in Nigeria
, and 2009–10 leader Artsiom Parakhouski
was born in the Byelorussian SSR of the Soviet Union
, which would become the independent country of Belarus
in his childhood. Tim Duncan
, the 1996–97 leader, was born in the United States Virgin Islands
and is a U.S. citizen by birth.
