Publisher's Synopsis
An old wise coach once coined the phrase, "Plays are expensive, but formations are cheap". I agree with this 100%.
If a coach can teach how to align many ways and become great at their plays, then the offense can be successful.
While these are sets and tags from the Gun T System, my hope was to simply give a few examples of HOW and WHY we use formations so that any coach could use them in their own offensive structure.
The idea of this book is to look at how to get into multiple formations with simple tags for your players. The goal for me is to have specific words that talk to each "moveable" piece. While the formation may contain 2-3 tags, the players only learn the tags that speak to them. This allows a coach to get into as many formations as possible, with teaching his players only a few tags.
The other goal of this book is to show WHY a formation can help the offense. The use of formation is only good if a coach has a purpose and goal in using them. To do this a coach must understand how the defense will think and adjust as well as what can cause them issues.
