[Steel Town Tough]

When I was a little kid,I met the Legend Coach Rupp.He is the equal of Bear Bryant in the Basketball world.He was pretty quick and rude with me.Too this day,I still have that first impression of him.I was in 1st or 2nd grade then.Being a bit of a sports historian I now appreciate who he was and what he accomplished.I learned alot about him by studying up on coach Bryant.They were at UK together,but that is another story.Point is,I still went on to play basketball and did not let one negative encounter keep me from enjoying a great sport.I think the MPFL is bigger than one person.Oh, one person may get the credit for the system,but it is the coaches who are going to bring it to the forefront with or without the creator of the system.In most cases,there will be hybrids of the MPFL system developed.That is ok too.There are flaws in all styles,no different here.Maybe you can be the next great creator and work the kinks out.Can anyone tell me who created option football?Most cannot,but how many teams use it as part of their offensive attack even in modern football.I bet those old single wing coaches up in the sky smile and laugh when they hear of the newest rage called the "Wildcat".If you like certain aspects of the MPFL style use it.Do not cheat yourself because of a Bad first impression.I butted heads on this thread also,but I got past it to see the positive in it.If you have not done so,go check out the story on AB in the tweak.It helped me get a better understanding of who he is and what he is about.I also liked how he shared his Faith in God.Glad to know we are on the same team there.Cool to know he went to TC Williams.We are the Titans,the mighty,mighty Titans.Love that movie.Show it every year in my classes.Anyway,just my 2 cents.--STT
