Does everyone not yell "Ball!" when there's a fumble?
If the other team fumbles, yes.
If we drop it, usually it's a different four-letter word.
Rats? Darn? |

Yes on ball. As a matter of fact, if you are watching a game on TV with coaches or former players and there is a fumble, everyone yells "BALL" and scares the mess out of the ladies and everyone else watching. Lol |

Short for "Oskie-wa-wa," Native-American phrase which translates to "I intercepted it, block like hell!!"

Does everyone not yell "Ball!" when there's a fumble? I wonder how much longer people will get to yell "Peter" before it gets banned as un-PC and homophobic... For us, instead of telling bingo after a turnover, in my part of the country every team I've been a part of has yelled "Oskie!" Jet Sweep might also be called Fly Sweep, Speed Sweep, or I knew one guy who called it "Reverse Sweep." Buck Sweep is different to me than most people. A lot of people use it to refer to any sweep with both Gs pulling, but I'm kind of a stickler on it meaning a sweep with a specific buck backfield action. I'm the same way. If it's both guards pulling, I just call it Sweep. If they don't it's Zone or Toss. Buck Sweep has to have a cross fake for me to call it that. Fly Sweep is out of Gun, Jet Sweep from under center. |

My definition of buck sweep is way more strict then yours: -- Must be Split flow -- Must be a handoff with backside boot -- Both Guards must pull. |

Our INT call is money. We had a coach who used to pay his DBs. If they got an INT - $5, pick 6 +$20.

I say, "on the hop" quite a bit when I'm wanting a quick transition. Once had a kid ask me where I got that from and I really don't know.

Once had a kid ask me where I got that from and I really don't know. my latest saying for "Get moving" is "Oscar Mike" (radio short for On-the-Move) - and since 90% of my kids play some sort of military first-person shooter games...they seem to get what im saying. |

It comes from getting in a rush to do something when caught on the hop.
Catch someone on the hop
Catch someone unprepared/ surprise someone
A : Debble had a baby a week after marrying Derek Dim. Derek didn't even know his wife was pregnant.
B : Yes, the baby caught him on the hop -- he thought Debble was just very fat.
The hop is a flower which is used in the brewing of beer and is traditionally grown in the county of Kent in south-east England. Just after the second World War, hop-picking was a popular holiday for working-class Londoners as it was often the only chance they had to enjoy the countryside. It was a cheap family holiday which lasted the whole summer. Unfortunately, most men worked in jobs which gave only a few days holiday a year, and so they had to invent an excuse in order to go hop-picking. Sometimes the employer discovered the truth and caught a man on the hop, or in other words, caught him picking hops.
It is very common to use this expression in the passive. For example, Make sure everything is ready well in advance otherwise you will be caught on the hop.

One that annoys me is when our defensive coach insists on calling weak flood a levels pass. What is double dive for you? For us, it's fullback through A-gap and halfback through B, but I've heard some people use it for backs through both weak and strong A.

I was bad about using Chop Chop, I loved MASH the TV show! Several etymological dictionaries trace the origins of the word to a version of pidgin English used on ships (and later by Chinese servants and traders who regularly interacted with foreigners). The Oxford English Dictionary traces the first usage of "chop chop" in print to an 1834 article in the Canton (Ohio) Register. Two years later, it would also appear in The Penny Magazine, an illustrated English publication geared toward the working class. In an 1838 article, "Chinese English," the magazine defined "chop-chop" as "the sooner the better," but made no mention of the phase being rude or curt. www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/02/20/280186897/quick-what-are-the-origins-of-chop-chopBut it is the slightly obnoxious command to hurry up that "chop-chop" remains best known for today. The fictional Maj. Frank Burns uses it perfectly during "The Novocaine Mutiny" episode of the beloved sitcom M*A*S*H. "Chop, chop!" he commands. "Get the lead out! This is a war, you know!" |

Boot vs Waggle??
To me Bootleg meant Naked and Waggle meant pull a protector. Both were weak side rolls or away from play-action.
According to the glossary in the Carnegie Mellon playbook:
"Bootleg: QB keeps the ball in the opposite direction of offensive call and executes run or pass option."
"Waggle: Bootleg play with guard or guards pulling opposite the offensive call, protecting the QB.

Waggle is when the OL Blocks away from the backfield action - protecting the QB Bootleg is when the OL Blocks to the backfield action - Faking the play pullers can be used on either. |

We use some unique words, or at least I haven't heard anyone else use them-
WETSU: Used on interceptions, acronym for "we eat that $hit up"
BOOTY: Cover 3. I have no clue where it came from, but our school has used it for many years

He calls Buck Sweep plays a dive, he calls cover zero cover 4, he calls a two-back shotgun formation "pistol". He is a good coach and all, it drives me crazy though |

I have a unique system for naming formations and backfields that I picked up from my first HC/ mentor. This system drives our HC nuts, but since I'm the one doing all breakdowns, he lets me do what I want how I want.
