Coach Campbell and other coaches,
Let's say that a high school has a healthy program, lots of healthy and talented athletes, and a stable staff. Let's say, theoretically, that optimum teaching has taken place and a multiple offense has been installed.
What would dictate to you when and where to use different personnel groups during a game?
I assume, for example, that at Coach Campbell's school, the I offensive set is his base offense (2WR, 1TE, 2RB). I am sure that he has an array of base runs, options, play-action passes (plus nakeds and bootlegs), screens and draws, and quick game/drop back/roll-out passes -- with and without shifts and motion. Given this arsenal, when would this coach use the one-back game?
I've noticed also that the shotgun is now en vogue. For you coaches that use it: When and where and why do you deviate from your base offense to run plays from the shotgun?
Besides situations like Red Zone Offense and Two-Minute Offense, when and where and why do you deviate from your base offense?
This train of thought leads me to some other related questions: In a typical game, what percentage of offensive plays over the years comes from your base offense -- and what percentage comes from other offensive sets and personnel groups? As a team practices for an opponent, what proportion of practice time should be devoted to base offense versus supplemental offense?
The biggest question of all: How does an experienced offensive coordinator and playcaller determine when the offense has TOO MUCH or NOT ENOUGH?
I'd appreciate hearing wisdom from any coach out there. Thanks!
