From David Jooss
Hey Coach,
I’m a huge fan of the Read and React and I am preparing for my second season with the offense. Last year I had all guards so we ran it 5 OUT most of the time. This coming year, I will have multiple big guys that can play and so I will [...]

Q: We will primarily be using the 3 OUT formation, but we will incorporate others as season goes on. Can you give me some ideas on how I could incorporate the power dribble layer into 3 OUT 2 IN? Is it for only when bigs touch ball on perimeter? When one post gets the ball, [...]

Q: After watching the videos a second time I really like the fact that a team can run a combination of all formations. Because of our strong post play, we will be primarily be 3 OUT team, but I am exploring the idea of 5 OUT as well, especially in late game situations as a [...]

Q: In a 3 OUT set, if player up top passes to the player on the right wing and basket cuts, won’t there be a spacing problem with the ball-side post?
A: Spacing will be compromised only for the time that the cutter is passing between the post players. Good spacing will return as the cutter [...]

Q: In 3 OUT 2 IN when the ball goes from the wing back to the top. What movement would you have the wing do? I know the normal movement is basket cut and probably fill opposite or cut and replace where you were. I have noticed that usually on quick reversal [...]

Q: I just purchased the Read and React System and have really enjoyed it so far. I do have a question. I didn’t see where it covered a pass from the wing to the top out of a 4 OUT set? Maybe I missed it. Any ideas please let me know.
A: When a wing passes [...]

Q: In a 4 OUT set when the wing makes a pass, where would he fill out after a basket cut? There is no open spot to fill except for the spot he just came from. Of course after you teach the layer on back picks after basket cuts you can just have players [...]
