Statistically 2017 defensive rebounding is virtually the same as 2014 and 2015. 2016 Dayton was better with Big Steve (RIP). The Flyers are a top 50 defensive rebounding team (VCU game was an anomaly).
The issue is offensive rebounding where Dayton is a bottom 50 team out of 350. Archie would argue that this is because of the offensive sets the Flyers run where 4/5 players are at the 3 point line, this does not allow for a high-rate of offensive rebounding. He would also argue with the personnel the Flyers have, it is more difficult to rebound offensively, only Sam, Charles, and X really have the capability. Yes Kyle can and Kendall can, but they are not great offensively. Also Archie would argue why we are a top 10 defensive team is our commitment to getting back on defense and hence hurts offensive rebounding.
