Does anyone have the basics they could share concerning the Rice Lake no huddle system and Laverne Pottinger?

Pottinger is retired now but when he was at Belvidere, IL and Rice Lake, WI he ran a no-huddle triple option attack based from the wishbone.
I heard him speak a couple years back. I don't know that he does anything special other than the no-huddle aspect.
As for how he ran his no-huddle I know he signaled in play numbers from the sideline to the QB. The QB then called the play on the LOS, the OL adjusted the splits and off they went. Just like anyone running a no-huddle system he had dummy calls and hot calls on the LOS as well.
I have the tape on his blocking system and to me it seemed very cumbersom. But that is just me.
I grew up not to far from Belvidere where he coached from the early 80s (?) to the late 90s(?) and since the Bucs usually went further in the playoffs than we did I had a couple opportunities to go watch his teams play. Great execution. I know at Belvidere and Rice Lake hsi teams were strictly two-platoon.

Do you recall his system of relaying the play call to the team i.e. states or colors followed by numbers...or did all the players just look over to get the signal

I reffed a 7 on 7 tournament 3 or 4 years back where they played. I believe they used locations of stuff along with a number. I know that isn't very specific, but I think they would call like West 345 or Mississippi 232. Obviously I don't know the details, but they did not all look over to the sideline.

I know they beat us in overtime in 2004 to go to the state finals, heart breaker. I have the tape but doubt it will be much help for you if you are looking for how they called hteir no huddle.
