There are other outstanding developments in the works now that will once again benefit EVERY high school team in the country wanting to take part in the forthcoming projects on the board now with the details being worked out.

Thanks again.

Here is a big problem with your numbers. I live in one of those states and I have not heard of a single school that is using the offense. And I have not heard of anyone in my state that has to officiate it. And I live in a fairly well populated state in terms of schools and football programs. And just because some kids like playing it, does not mean the rules should allow it at the end of the day. I am sure the kids that play against it do not like playing against an offense that makes the game into a gimmick.

If we went by the opinion of children I've coached, only pass plays would be legal.

These are not Mike's numbers. They are from the A-11 website. See the first line of his post.

And that means what? If anything the fact that you are attributing this to a sales website, should illustrate how blow out of proportion this information is. I seriously doubt that many schools across the country are using this offense. With all the states that have outlawed the offense should be enough evidence of that alone.

It means you either misread the post or deliberately tried to portray TxMike as a proponent of the system. It means you attributed clearly quoted information to the person quoting it. It means you used the wrong pronoun. It means you should have used "their" instead of "your".

And in this post, again the lack of comprehension is exhibited. I did not attribute the quote to the sales website, TxMike did. I merely pointed out he had done so.

I agree with you about the ludicrousness of their numbers. My association will be working close to fourty schools this fall, and none of them have used this in any of their scrimages. I talked to the Assistant Executive Director in charge of football for the State Association and he was not aware of anyone (out of approximately 350 teams) in the entire state who was using it.

And maybe you are thinking way too hard about what we are discussing here. I only was responding to things TxMike said and referenced. Whether he is an advocate or not is really not my concern or the issue.

You really are taking this a little too seriously. It is just a conversation. I have no idea or care if anyone likes this offense. I really think at the end of the day we are making mountains out of molehills as to what this offense is or what it is not.

That was really the only point I was trying to make.
