Let me make that diagram better, the old fashioned wishbone with the fullback directly behind the QB and the two running backs split behind the fullback...my first post didn't show the diagram the way I wanted

There arn't many, if any, that still run a true wishbone. There are still several teams that run the flex bone, split veer, or option from the I. I played against Maine Maritime Academy, a D3 school, and they ran the flex bone beautifully. Averaged well over 300 yards a game, sometimes 400. My old coach coaches at Plymouth State from NH, they run alot of option out of the I....But this probly idnt very helpful since they arnt from the Bone. But I'm sure they help you out if you called them with film or questions.

What exactly is the flexbone? Two of the backs are flexed out like wing backs almost, correct?

reb: You'll be better off getting in touch with a high school program that runs wishbone.
You will find that you can choose among traditional triple option teams, those that use the bone as a power formation (and/or as a deception platform with inside belly/double dive sequences), and those that use both.
