Read and React


Right now in basketball practice we are running a five out offense and a lot of man defense. Our offense is called "The Read and React". It comes from the women's' Iowa Hawkeyes basketball coach. This coach designed it to look in to more passes and easy lay-ups. There are 20 different layers in this offense but our team only runs four out of the twenty. We are working on the pass-n-cut and the dribble at offense. It is working great for us...this offense is practically unstoppable. Our coach has bought 75 lb. spots to keep on the floor when we practice that way we always know what we are doing...the Iowa team uses these as well. Anyway...these spots mark where we are to go and when we are to do it when he ball is being dribbled at us or passes the half court line...confusing huh? If you saw it a couple of times then you would get it it's pretty simple and will really confuse the defense! This also works out great because there are know set positions such as; post, wing man, or point guard. Well, the point guards will probably be the same because they are pretty much the fastest and smallest and best dribblers on the team. This is a wonderful offense and will work out great.
