betterbasketbal... - Ok, we admit it. Not everything in your practice (or basketball in general) can be addressed by the Read & React Offense. You will need to spend a certain amount of practice time going over specific details of other components in the game.
But, the amount of time that you spend on each item should be appropriate to the relative benefit you get from it.
We've all been there, of course, spending 30 minutes a day on our pet basketball drill (you know, the one we picked up from that famous coach or the one our favorite coach taught us) only to have that skill translate into points once every 5 games.
It doesn't make sense to let tradition or emotion rule your practices. Be active in deciding where to spend your valuable practice time.
In the video below, Rick Torbett explains how keeping better stats and the Pareto Principle changed the way he drills fast breaks.
