put-back
Offensive rebound conversion
A put-back is a basketball term for a shot made immediately after grabbing an offensive rebound, putting the ball back into the basket before returning to the floor or resetting the play.
It's considered a high-effort, opportunistic score that rewards aggressive rebounding.
