"I have enjoyed learning about the Read and React offense and incorporating it into my offensive system. Read and React teaches players how to play the game instead of making robotic actions that are predetermined. It is a fun offense that allows players to showcase their abilities!”
Lisa Bluder

MEET Coach Rick Torbett

Creator of the Read & React Offense

Rick has spent over 40 years coaching and studying the game of basketball and throughout the process started Better Basketball (we’re talking back in the VHS days).

After years of providing athletes with the resources to level-up key skills, he launched the product he’s most known for today: the Read & React Offense, often referred to as position-less basketball. And because of that, he’s had the tremendous pleasure of mentoring coaches at all levels and in more than 30 countries.

His greatest passion is showing coaches how to reach their highest potential on the court. 

Read & React Offense

The best coaches are finding systems to put their best 5 on the floor at any time.

And that’s exactly what you’ll find inside the Read & React—a positionless offense, built on a foundation of structure that allows you to coach and allows your players to make smart plays based on reads.

We’re not building robots that can run to spots.

Instead, we’re teaching players how to play, how to be instinctive, and how to prove the defense wrong no matter what they do.

The Read & React Offense isn’t just another play...

It’s a way of transforming your team’s approach to offense, making players smarter, more adaptable, and unstoppable on the court.
