An offensive Rebound...as a coach you expect to get your defensive rebounds as a coach preaches rebounding to close out a defensive sequence...but to get an offensive rebound creates extra possesions which wears a team down and increases opportunities for your offense...

They are both very important. If a person on a team gets an offensive rebound, then he can either put it back up or kick it out to a teammate, which gives the team another chance to get points. Getting a defensive rebound prevents the other team from doing the same thing.

It depends on what type of a team you are. If you are the old Detroit Pistons under Larry Brown for example, you know your defense will stop anyone at any time, then you don't mind giving up an offensive rebound. And since the team didn't fast break as much, getting offensive rebounds helps them more because it gives them another chance at offense.
But if you were the old Showtime Lakers, defensive rebound is what you are after becuase you get to outlet and run the fastbreak. Getting offensive rebounds is not as important because you will get plenty of chance scoring b/c of your fastbreak.
Both are equally important but depends on your team.

Defense wins games.
Not only do defensive rebounds stop the other team from getting a second chance to score, the tempo of the game speeds up and fast breaks can occur easier.
An offensive rebound is great, but does not mean that your team willl be able to score after that rebound. However, a defensive rebound means that the other team has no chance to score.

that is a great question, i would have to say defensive rebound because it prevents the other team from continuing their possession and can lead to your offense if you have a good fast break, an offensive rebound doesn't necessarily mean you are going to score and it doesn't help your defense

Defensive.
Second chance scoring is good to be sure, but defensive boards put the ball in your hands, and dictate the tempo of the game. Strong boards win games.

actually both help. it depends on how you use the two of them.
though i would favor offensive. it really gives you time to set plays because you'll have fresh 24 seconds in your court compared to the defensive where you'll start on the other teams'.
besides, second chance points really make impact on the team's overall score and point conversion rhythm.

It all depends what you do with the ball after :
- offensive : if you miss the next shot then it is useless but was worth trying
- defensive : if you miss the next pass then it is also useless.

Defensive. can't let the opposition team get another shot at the hoop.
