I think the passing has always been there...just never used

From what I've been told, I agree with you. It's my understanding that JC works on the pass a whole lot in practice, but hasn't shown it in games because Matney wanted to use it as an element of surprise in a big game. It's my guess that he didn't want to use it against Belfry but had to in an effort to win. I'd guess he'd have preferred to save the surprise for Highlands if the two teams match up. Some coaches like to do stuff like that; others like to show a little bit of everything to force the opposition to spend precious time preparing for everything.
