These factors make Charlotte a better offensive rebounding team. There are two developing themes or theories that I have been studying during the WNBA season this year. I have a theory on why the West is the dominant conference so far. Don't misunderstand me, all offenses need to read the defense and any coach will tell you that. These teams run sets in their offense.
Sets are the offense after primary and secondary transition options.
All of the above mentioned coaches and teams are finding success at this time. I think the West dominates because of the play in the middle and the styles of the centers. The Western Conference centers are mobile, agile, versatile and athletic and do it with greater size than the East. The Eastern Conference centers are mobile, agile, versatile and athletic but do not have height. The Eastern centers' size is in a different proportion.
