I knew Coach O'Connor for many many years. First, my HS coach was one of his AC's, we ran this exact offense. I go back when St. Francis Prep was still in Brooklyn. Even after they moved to Fresh Meadows we still sent players to "Prep". My first job coaching, at HS level, was at "Prep's" biggest rival. I would often see Coach O'Connor, & even had the privilege to scout several games with him.
His retirement & passing came with a heavy heart, he was a class individual. I coached against him in the '90's so it was at the end of the T days. When you see the splits (2' & 3') you know why I think those are normal splits. He was much more than a football coach.
