read and react 5 player coordination drills
Step 1: Dive into the drills.
Step 2: Take it a step further and get a working offense in just one practice.
drills are great—but they'll only take you so far
The video above contains some of my favorite drills. They can help your players build key habits, develop core skills, and learn smart reads and reactions—You’ll get player development on both sides of the ball, and smarter players all in one.
Now there is a downside…
They’ll only get you so far and will never equate to a working offense.
But I’ve got a solution I think you’ll like…
build a working offense in just one practice
When I say working offense I’m not talking about a simple half-court set. I’m referring to half-court offense, replacement screens, out-of-bounds from anywhere, full-court transition, early offense, and a press break.
You may think I’m crazy and that this is an impossible task but watch the video below as I demonstrate it with a brand new team using the 1st layer of the Read & React Offense.
Half-court offense, replacement screens, defense, out-of-bounds from anywhere, full-court transition, early offense, live scrimmage, press break…
INSIDE YOU'LL DISCOVER
- How to close a game when you have the lead.
- The best defensive shell drill you can run in less than 2 minutes.
- A live scrimmage method that will test your offense and defense in the first practice.
- A full-court transition that flows directly into your offense regardless of how many players have crossed half-court.
- An out-of-bounds play with built-in scoring threats that can be run from anywhere on the court and flows directly into your offense.
You’ll have accountability, spacing, player movement, ball movement,
and plenty of quality scoring opportunities.
AND YOUR PLAYERS WILL LEARN...
- How to break a full-court press.
- When and where to use screens.
- Where to be and what to do against a man or zone defense.
- Big picture context to most of the major actions in the game.
- How to transition full court into early offense without setting up.
WILL IT BE PERFECT?
Of course not. But after one practice, you could enter a game with a high degree of confidence that your players will know where to go and what to do.
After the first day of practice, you’ll be surprised by your team’s grasp of the big picture of basketball. They’ll be able to run an offense that can counter pressure, run a full-court transition, play early offense without setting up, break presses and stay tough in the end game to keep the lead.
DO I HAVE TO RUN READ & REACT FOR THIS TO WORK?
Nope. You don’t need to run the React & React, or even know what it is.
This course takes the foundational layer of the Read & React and creates a stand-alone offense that fits into any system.

HI, I'M RICK
I’m the creator of the Read & React Offense.
I’ve spent the majority of my life studying and coaching the game of basketball. With 40+ years of experience, I’ve coached teams of all talent levels. A couple with losing seasons and several others ranked #1 in the state with back-to-back final fours.
No matter the talent level, I ran into the same issues year after year. I shuffled through about 20 different offenses, I was constantly trying to fit players into positions, and I was starting over every year.
Long story short, I developed the Read & React Offense to combat every single common obstacle the standard offense brings.
And today, I am humbled to say that I’ve had the great privilege of helping thousands of coaches score 10-15 more points per game and transform their seasons.
