    Reaction Drills

    Coach Rick Torbett has developed his Read & React offense to teach players to recognize scoring opportunities and capitalize upon them. Most drills are broken down to teach only one aspect of a given real-game situation. In one step, Read & React teaches an offense by drilling players and teaching movement in response to the the ball, even as it reinforces the skills players need to succeed. Torbett will present the sixteen layers of the Read & React offense as taught by fundamental drills from the Read & React System with added explanations and demonstrations in this online video course. Why teach an offense separately from the skills your players need to win games? Teaching adaptive play principles to the players at the same time that they learn the skills they need is a better way to get results.

    Read & React Tutorials: Post Player Quarterback

    The post player is an important part of the offense. Two things that usually come up with respect to the post are simply how to get open in the post and how to score in the post when you've got the ball. Read & React uses the post player in a different way - it turns the post player into a play maker, the quarterback of your offense. The post is in the Read & React decision box, and the purpose of this online course is to help the post learn how to make the best decision for the team.

    Read & React Tutorials: Training the Decision Box

How much time do we really spend trying to increase our players’ basketball I.Q.? In Read & React Offense, the lane is the decision box. This video course will help you teach your players to make the best decisions without input from the coach.

    Read & React Workouts

    This 2-part workout series gives coaches the opportunity to learn directly from Rick as he takes them through two 6-week training progressions, for a total of 27 Read & React specific workouts.
    In each workout, Rick explains the big picture – and – how each new drill links to that big picture. Also, he explains how the new drills link to the previous workout! We’ll then show you enough of each drill for you to get the setup, the rotation, the teaching points, and any player development skills that are relevant. Coaches will receive:
    —27 New Teaching Videos
    —A complete Workout Curriculum for offseason Player Development
    —A PDF of each Workout Plan
    —Previously recorded Live Chats providing an additional 15+ hours of insight
    Although each training session is called a “workout” they’re much more than that. Rick’s goal in each session is to accomplish about six things at one time with your players:
    1. Teach the Read & React – both the big picture AND the details
    2. Teach all of the drills that you will be using during the season and why you do them.
    3. Expose your players to the skill sets that they need for the Read & React.
    4. If those skill sets are not up to par, then we need to teach those skills. Rick's philosophy is: If you’re on the floor, you need a Player Development component to whatever it is you’re doing.
    5. Situational training – during these sessions, Rick will show the players the situations where they APPLY those fundamental skills of player development.
    6. Conditioning – lots of reps – confidence comes from high amounts of successful reps. There's no way around it!
    In each workout, Rick explains the big picture – and – how each new drill links to that big picture. Also, he explains how the new drills link to the previous workout! We’ll then show you enough of each drill for you to get the setup, the rotation, the teaching points, and any player development skills that are relevant.

    Read and React: 2-Player Workout

    There are two halves of the Read & React that make it the unique system that it is. The first half of the Read & React takes all decision-making away from players without the ball and makes them pure reactors to the ball-handler – one predetermined reaction to every action that the ball can take. That makes the ball-handler the sole decision-maker: one leader with 4 followers. And that’s what this workout is all about.  Making decisions with the ball AND knowing exactly how to react to the ball, essentially means you know exactly when to lead and exactly when to follow. And that knowledge is not only essential to the Read & React, it’s also an essential ingredient to playing Better Basketball.
