I have A question, should feeder program coaches follow the High school coaches play book and method or should they be given the latitude to explore their ideas and search for a broader or different method of accomplishment. As a elementary coach I personally would not want to coach if my ideas were not accepted and I couldn't run a play in a certain situation just because the high school coach wouldn't. What if I as an elementary coach go to my first practice and see a kid throwing a football like it is a baseball and has the best talent I have ever seen. should I make an effort to explore his ability or possibility or should I stick to the script?
Have you ever arrived early to a high school football game and watched the QB and ends warm up? They are throwing the ball all over the field, then, the game starts and the closest you will get to seeing a pass thrown is when your team is on offense and it is 3rd and 12 or 15. when the Mt, teams develop passing and pass because they can and not because they have to we will have much better football teams in the mt.
I WONDER HOW MANY Mt QUARTERBACKS WE WASTE, We usually take the best athlete we see and right then and there make him the QB and he spends the rest of his high school career handing off the football. IMO MT football is just as good as any other however until we learn to throw the football we will never realize our potential.

I see where you are coming from and I don't completely disagree. If I was a coach I would have no problem with my feeder coaches throwing in their own wrinkles and I would encourage that they work with the kids to see who has some hidden ability like the kid throwing it like a baseball.
My point was that when the feeder teams run the same system and playbook as the High School and then you get freshman who have ran your system since the A team then that I think puts you in a huge advantage over schools that don't. This is just my opinion but I know the kids at a program like Belfry are brought up in coach Haywood's system and how can you argue with that programs success.
