When-why did coaches start using terms "marry" (as in plays or 'concepts') and "families" (of plays)?
What is this, Football or Planned Parenthood?
How about just adding or combining plays with series? |

I agree. We 'adjoin concepts by superposition' into 'subcategories of schemes' and then 'compound schemes into the superstructure of our offense'. It's much easier that way and everyone gets on the same page.

Divorcing familial terms from football would be good for the entire coaching brethren.

It's like the education system. Every 10 years or so the powers that be come up with new "terminology" to sound like their ideas are new and groundbreaking, when in reality, it's the same thing they did 20 years ago.

Sadly, we live in an era where most football coaches will stay married to a concept longer than they will their wives.

If I come up with some new terminology or jargon it makes me sound smarter than you. I hate that garbage--in coaching, education, and wherever I run across it. Just say what you mean so that everyone can understand what you're talking about--I'll know then you're a lot smarter than the jargon guys.
