Here are the answers to the previous two replies:

1. During and after the season we received some honest communication for us to participate with Officials outside our area regarding our new Offense. OK, I talked with a very well regarded Official and he said to lay low for now. I tried, but when we then received even more inquiries and then lots of incorrect info started showing up online which was totally wrong, it was then neccessary to help clarify things about the process we already went through and what our offense actually was.

2. In terms of why we went through the CIF and NFHS: We had a good idea that what we had developed was going to be fine but wanted to make sure we had interpreted every point correctly. So we first sent everything in to NFHS, then CIF and went through the proper approval process as we were instructed to do by the key people involved.

Case in point, if we had not done so, can you imagine how much griping their might have been? Instead, it has been mostly the opposite because we took the proper steps.



NFHS and CIF Post-Season Follow Up on A-11:

1. Hopefully all of us would agree that both bodies (NFHS & CIF) will do their annual post season follow up and in this case on the A-11 offense. Right?

2. OK, when the NFHS and CIF Key Administrators actually PICK UP the telephone and talk to the Officials in our Region who Actually worked our games (and I am not going to list names) they will quickly find out there were not any major problems in the officiating of our games.

3. Then when those key people return to the table and ask about the A-11...

1. A Lot of players like it
2. A Lot of coaches like it
3. A Lot of fans like it
4. It gives Smaller teams a more even chance to compete vs. Larger Opponents
5. And, the overall feedback from the Actual Officials who worked the Piedmont games was very positive indeed

* From that standpoint, when the governing bodies actually do an Honest and Diligent post-season evaluation, humbly, it will be very easy to see that keeping the A-11 in tact is clearly OK.


** By the way, one coach in another part of the country has been talking to us, and HE has come up with an Unbelievable new offensive system that will push the boundaries of offense in a different direction from ours, and it will be interesting to see if he gets it Green Lighted too. It is very, very interesting but it is not like our system and of course that is just fine too.

Thank you.
