What our customers say:
"I recently placed an order for two video's from Basketball Videos USA that were to be Christmas gifts. The service and speed of delivery was far and away the best experience I have ever had with any on-line order. Even when I made a mistake in my order and accidentally ordered two of the same DVD, I was contacted right away to make sure I had placed my order correct, any other retailer would have sent both and pocketed the money without question. As a parent and city council member, I can say I wish everyone had the work ethic, service and integrity of the people at Basketball Videos USA.".... Ed Laverone, San Juan Bautista, California

What our customers are saying about the Better Basketball DVDs..."Coach Torbett changed my life as a basketball player. He taught me how to shoot, go to the basket, and to think. I wish my High School coach had known only half of what Coach Torbett at Better Basketball knows. What makes Coach Torbett so special is his ability to communicate. He keeps it simple."

Physical cues are a major part of every move in this presentation. These cues include a low center of gravity, hips dropped, hard/low dribbles and court vision.

When we say Read & React is a complete offensive system, we should probably clarify what we mean by “complete”.
We mean that you can use this offensive system with absolutely any style of play or coaching philosophy you already have in place. We mean it that can be easily customized to take advantage of your team’s greatest strengths. We mean that any age group and any skill level can learn and apply it easily to up the quality of their game.
So when we say “complete”, we mean it’s the only offensive system you’ll ever need in your coaching career. Other coaches, after learning the Read & React system, have confessed that they’re not even sure how they could create a defense to counteract it – even when they already know the principles behind how the offensive system works!
With Read & React, you’ll learn how to:
Develop your players individually and your entire team as a unit in a building block progression
Teach your players how to engage the game by principle, not just by offensive play
Attack and counter any complex defense – even up to the pro ball level
Give each player the freedom to use his skills and attack the basket while still keeping a cohesive team strategy
Eliminate the restrictions of set plays and give your players the skills to think strategically in game
The Read & React offensive system doesn’t teach plays. It teaches your team how to play. Strategically. Thoughtfully.
And yes, a whole lot better.
Watch our video preview to get a sample of how the Read & React Offensive System works.

with Dave Leitao, former University of Virginia Head Coach; 2007 ACC Coach of the Year
Keep it simple on offense and give your players freedom to play using Dave Leitao's 4-Out-1-In Offense. Leitao's offense is great for teams that have a smaller line up and want to attack the basket using positioning, movement and quick passes and cuts.
Take a court side seat as Leitao, who served as an associate head coach under Jim Calhoun at Connecticut and helped lead the Huskies to the 1999 national championship game, builds this effective offense on a pass and cut foundation. This offense provides basket cuts, pick and rolls, loops, and fades, which are executed according ball movement and to how the opponent defends.
Learn three options for attacking the defense with the dribble: loop, crack back and fade, which all build a foundation of ball and player movement.
This fast moving offense will allow your players to translate mismatches into advantages with the ultimate goal of getting more than one defender to guard the ball. Leitao also demonstrates several 2-man game and post up opportunities that will allow teams to get the ball to their most talented scorers.
This simple, yet effective offense can be successful not only versus man-to-man defense, but zone defense as well. It removes the thought process for your players that allows them to react to the defense.
with Joe Stolzer, Manhattan College Strength and Conditioning Coach and Five-Star Basketball Instructor; 20+ years working with NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB athletes, host of many vertical jump camps across the US
Every basketball player wants to improve his or her vertical jump. Now you can!
Joe Stolzer provides a visual instruction manual to help your players build their explosiveness and blast off. Coach Stolzer reveals and addresses weak links throughout the body that, by themselves, might increase vertical jump without additional training.
Stolzer highlights the three main areas that effect vertical jump.
Feet and Ankles - The vertical jump starts at ground contact. Improve strength, flexibility and the health of your feet and ankles.
Hips - The hips account for 80% of the body's power. With unilateral training, athletes can build twice the power as those who just train with their legs.
Core - Learn core exercises to increase the power of your jump, hang time and balance.
Stolzer provides detailed instruction on correct jumping and landing mechanics. These techniques will both ensure maximum vertical jump and assistance in reducing injuries upon landing.
To bring it all together, Stolzer includes over 20 Blast Off Drills. These drills incorporate scientific and psychological principles to fully enhance the power in your jump. The Blast Off Drills will lend variety to your workouts and will help prevent muscle plateau so your athletes' can continue to improve. Stolzer includes eight unique aquatic drills and his "speed training in disguise" drills.
This program is specifically designed for athletes under 225 lbs. and who are post-adolescent.
Work with your athletes to vastly improve their explosiveness and blast off using this excellent training tool. Create an edge in athleticism and prevent injuries for the players on your team!
Improve your ball pressure to force contested jump shots
Shore up your baseline defense
Create a defensive identity for your team
with Ben Jacobson,
University of Northern Iowa Head Coach;
2x Missouri Valley Coach of the Year (2009 and 2010); back-to-back MVC Champs (2009-2010)
Increase your intensity and toughness on defense and create a game-like atmosphere in practice using these defensive breakdown drills from Ben Jacobson.
Coach Jacobson reveals four key principles to his quarter court defense and provides 10 defensive drills that will provide a solid foundation for your defensive practice time.
The drills start 1-on-0 and progress to 5-on-5 working on the fundamentals of defense, balance, keeping your feet on the ground, squaring up, rotating, communicating and more. Your team will work on pressuring the ball so the offense cannot turn the corner on you; developing a closed stance to give you a better opportunity for a short close out; and moving with the basketball as it is being moved.
Jacobson and his UNI Panthers have made a name for themselves with their quarter court defense. In 2009, UNI was named the Missouri Valley Defensive Team of the Year holding their competition to 63.5 points per game and 41.9 percent field goal shooting.
Jacobson's defensive philosophy is 80 percent Pack-line Defense and 20 percent ball denial, push sideline / rotate to the baseline.
This DVD will help you create a defensive philosophy and improve the effectiveness of your defensive practice time.
Develop your players' ability to finish at the basket and to read their defender
with Mike Rice,
Robert Morris University Head Coach
Improve your players' ability to finish in your half court offense.
Mike Rice, who has claimed back-to-back NEC regular-season championships in his first two years as head coach at Robert Morris, presents a catalog of 1-on-1 breakdown drills to improve offensive skill development.
Coach Rice breaks his drills down into three areas:
Finishing Drills
Attacking Drills
Read and React Drills
In all of his drills, Rice emphasizes a level of demand or urgency in executing both offensive and defensive fundamentals and skills.
Use the finishing drills to teach players to fearlessly attack the basket, play strong with the ball, and make good decisions. These drills will take your players out of their comfort zone and prepare them for game-like situations.
Incorporate Rice's attacking drills to keep your offensive players on the attack and practice making quick decisions off of the dribble.
Improve your players' ability to read and react using screens. Rice will show you how to run this drill using the screening action that is already in your offense and with the down screen, flex screen, flare screen, and pinch screen.
Simplify your teaching and improve your offensive attack by incorporating these effective 1-on-1 breakdown drills into your practice plan.
Improve your team's ability to pass, catch, dribble, shoot and more
Learn how to build your offense using practice drills
Incorporate conditioning into offensive drill work
with Geno Auriemma,
Five-time Women's Basketball National Championship Coach;
6X National Coach of the year
Naismith Hall of Fame, over 30 Big East regular season and tournament titles
Ensure that your drill work transfers from practice to the game.
Geno Auriemma presents half- and full-court offensive drills that are a part of his daily practice. Through these drills, Auriemma demonstrates the key to good team offense: The ability to pass, catch, dribble and shoot.
He shows his 2-man passing full court drill, 2-line layup drill, 3-man weave half court and full court drills, and then begins his full court transition offense with his 3-man transition drill, then adds a player to go 4-on-0, finally reaching 5-on-0 transition. These drills replicate a game-like atmosphere and really work on pushing the defense for a lay-up, or getting them to back up, which leaves you a 3-point attempt.
These drills not only work on your teams ability to pass, catch, dribble, and shoot but also focus on team communication and conditioning. This takes Auriemma right into some of his secondary offensive ideas.
He finishes with some questions concerning practice set up, inbounds plays, facing full court pressure defense, and his favorite rebounding drills.
Improve your offense this season with these proven drills from Geno Auriemma.
