His books had a HUGE influence on me in the mid 1970's. Particularly all his formations.

Modern T Belly Offense is his other one I think. It is the basis of the Barta Bone from what I have heard. It is a good book. I got my off ebay for fairly cheap.

Yes he does have 2 books on the belly but I am not sure if they are truly 2 different books or just retitled. One of the better books I have purchased. Goes into good detail about footwork such as stpe by stpe movements. Inside and outside Belly series and some passing and that is about it. He runs it out of single back with motion or a 100/900 type backfield alignment

This book was in my college library and I believe it was something like "modern belly-t football" or something like that.
The key play in the whole thing was what we would call now "Belly 2nd man." But it had tons of formations, I'd never seen so many. His philosophy was to run a few plays out of tons of formations. It had a real effect on my later coaching.
(and of course, since I haven't seen the book since 1976, hope that I'm talking about the right thing)-but you never know.

That is the book. He believed when a defense saw motion they could do 3 things and only 1 was right. 1) not adjust 2) adjust incorreclty 3) make the right adjustment. If they adjusted correctly he would stop using motion.
If you can get a chance to read it do it. If you can pick it up cheap on ebay even better. We are researching now if we are going to make the switch to Belly or to SBV. His book is the resource that has given use a number of ideas.
