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 [...]

I love coaching with this offense. One thing that really helped our girls’ varsity team, and may help some others, concerned seam cuts against a zone. We worked very hard on setting up cuts against both man and zone and making those cuts “seam” cuts against zones, but we had trouble switching gears [...]

From Ron Rangi:
Just a note to let you know we are still working on the Read and React Offense but we are amazed with the result to date.
We are currently 1-1 in our League standings and 3-1 for all games played so far. Last year, our Point Guard, Small Forward and Centre dominated scoring, contributing [...]

I enjoy reading your R&R blog: it stimulates a lot of thought. Here is an idea I had about running Pass & Cut from the corner in the 5 OUT set. The video shows the cutter cutting in, then filling the spot he just left. We did this to start, but I think [...]

I learned a couple of things this week that you may have already noticed, but I thought I’d pass them along anyway.
Pass & Cut
With one of our younger teams I noticed that during the pass and cut layer, they were acting as if the ball were a hot potato and in many cases [...]

We love this offense and have put it into our entire school program - grades 6-12. For our varsity, we have found success with it on many fronts; some expected, some not. For example, we are a very small team this year and our posts are not traditional ‘back to the basket’ guys. [...]

One twist we’re adding that might interest you is on the 4 OUT 1 IN, or the 3 OUT 2 IN. When the ball handler power dribbles backward or in one spot, one of the players in the hole (post) comes out to initiate a pick and roll.

We are now 4-2. Each of our 4 wins has been by 20 or more points. Here are some observations from my team from using the R&R through these first 6 games.
1. We tend to use the R&R habits better and more often when facing a man D. Against a zone we tend [...]
