In short, this offense was designed by Ed Goorjian, one of the winningest high school coaches in California history. The primary philosophy is to keep it simple by using multiple sets and specials yet the rules always remain the same. Coach Goorjian's fundamental belief is that great defensive pressure is the most difficult obstacle for an offensive player and consequently your offense must be able to handle that axiom first and foremost.

Too many times coaches get caught up with the rules of the offense and where a player should be instead of teaching their players how to read the defense. Moreover, your offense must utilize your best players (i.e. " If you have a Reggie Jackson wouldn't you want him at the plate as many times as possible?").

You will notice that this offense emphasizes the importance of player's roles. Coach Raveling maintains that offense, specifically shooting, is not an equal opportunity proposition--shooters earn the right to shoot.

In summary, John Chaney of Temple puts it best when he states that certain players belong in the kitchen while others belong in the den.
