Ben Wallace passed the ball to Lebron with a controlled tip. Therefore he was credited with the rebound.

Seems to me that whoever secures the ball should get credit for the rebound. So on tap-back offensive rebounds, does the tapper get credit for the rebound? Is it whoever first contacts the ball? What is the official rule, if there is one? I've also wondered about steals -- if someone tips a pass or knocks a dribble away, and his teammate corrals the loose ball, who gets credit for the steal?
