5.0 out of 5 stars
Just a great football book, period., May 13, 1999
By A Customer
Every decade, some humble coach or in this case coaches take the time to write about a revolutionary idea that they have tinkered with, and they do it with such amazing clarity and detail that even those who may not agree with such madness owe it to themselves and their profession to study such a masterwork. This is one of those books. Coverdale and Robinson do not claim to have invented the bunch formation. They simply explain it in such vivid detail that this is probably one of the greatest football books written for coaches in this century. I AM NOT KIDDING! The diagrams are splendidly detail, the authors explain all of their techniques and methods thoroughly, and then they give you the hows and whens to use this tremendous idea. Furthermore they give you ideas to build on that will only stimulate your own creative thinking. Any formation or system can easily adapt this idea, you don't have to be a run and shooteer, a west coaster, or a wing t guy. Any system at any level can use the ideas presented. What you won't get from these two authors however is a lot of blowhard stories meant to soothe their own egos or a bunch of clinic talk that leaves you the reader feeling cheated. This is a football book meant for people who are serious about football. I bought the book two years ago, I still pull it out and review it every few weeks, I've read and reread it countless times. Folks you aren't going to find a better football book that is so readily available and easily easily readable that is this important. I just ordered my second copy because the binding on the one I bought two years ago is worn out.
