I started the Intermediate balanced program about 4 weeks ago..and I'm not seeing any real gains. I saw gains the first week, but then we started hard practices in basketball.

Should I stick with the program? I'm thinking about taking a week off after I finish phase I and then switching to the Reactive Program, because thats what its looking like I need.

P.S.
On the Intermediate Reactive Program, it just says Squats 3x8, etc. How much weight should I do

It's going to be tough to make gains during basketball season. I would keep the plyometrics very light if you are going to do them. You might just want to do strength training during the season and keep that light too. Playing ball involves a lot of plyometric muscle activity, so adding plyometric workouts is tough on your muscles. In the end though, you know your body better than I do.
I'm not sure about the weights to use in that program. I noticed they werent there too.
