NEW Article: 3 Things You Can Learn From Football’s “WILDCAT” Offense

By Don Kelbick

Any of you who know me or have read my work, know I look at basketball differently than most. I am always looking at things in everyday life or in other sports and relating them to basketball to try and help me be a better teacher and coach.

I apologize to our readers who are unfamiliar with American football. Please try to understand the essence of these thoughts.

I hate to draw parallels from football. Football has become so technical that I think you can program “Rock-em-Sock-em” robots to play it.

That’s quite a statement when you consider he was the athletic director as well
