  • Better Basketball’s Rick Torbett. Better Basketball has an extensive lineup of basketball skills building videos, then moved into team offense with the Read & React Offense, and last year released a team defense system with their Dynamic Defense. I actually recorded this podcast before I was able to see the Dynamic Defense, but used React and React with my teams for years- that is why I felt comfortable having Rick on the show!

Among the things we discuss are…

  • Better Basketball’s Dynamic Defense and Read and React Offense
  • How they came about
  • The basic concepts and levels
  • How they can motivate players (and parents!)
