Is it a matter of feel or is there a scientific way to plot it out? When do you keep going to the stimulus and when do you pull the trigger on the counter? I think most coaches end up going by feel or what they see, but that can get tricky in a high pressure game situations and defenses can change. I have tried scripting plays, but that runs the risk of forging through a script without any results sometimes. As I'm thinking aloud about this topic, I am wondering what offensive coordinators should rely upon? Assistant coaches often give solid input and can also give the press box view of what is available. Sometimes by the way defenses are set up or coached, little stimulus is needed because the counter is necessary right away. I guess what I'm driving at is what are some other coaches opinions on offensive game play call strategy and preparation? Any thoughts on the matter?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
